Instead of graphite, nickel anode can't be used in Dow's process because

In Dow's process haloarene is converted to phenol with fused NAOH . The most reactive compound is

In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is following by a statement of reason (R ) A: Dow's process is an example of nucleophillic substitution reaction. R : In this process, benzyne is formed as an intermediate.

Dow's process of extraction of Mg involves extraction of Mg from sea water. Sea water is concentrated in sun-light and is then treated with slaked lime. Magnesium hydroxide is heated in a stream of HCl to give MgCl_(2) which is electrolysed to discharge Mg. The mixture is in the ratio 35% MgCl_(2)+50% NaCl+15% CaCl_(2) . NaCl and CaCl_(2) are added to lower the fusion temperature and to increases the conductance. Mg^(2+) +Ca(OH)_(2) to Mg(OH)_(2)+Ca^(2+) Mg(OH)_(2)+2HCl to MgCl_(2)+2H_(2)O(l) Electrolysis of fused MgCl_(2) hArr Mg^(2+)+2Cl Mg^(2+)+2e^(-) to Mg ( At Cathode) 2Cl^(-) to Cl_(2)+2e^(-) (At Anode) Mg electrolysed is protected from atmospheric oxidation by a blanket of inert gases. In the hydrated chloride of Mg the value of x is :

Statement-1 : Work done in isothermal reversible process is more than irreversible process. And Statement-2 : Irreversible process is an infinitesimally slow process.

The process of setting of cement under water is essentially an oxidation process.

Dolomite can also be treated to get MgCl_(2) which in turn is electrolysed to get Mg (Dow natural brine process) . Give reactions for this process.

A : Phenol is manufactured by Dow 's pocess. R : It involves the formation of benzyne intermediate .
