Formation of $Ni(CO)_4$ and subsequent its decomposition into $Ni$ and $CO$ makes basis of Mond's process

$Ni\, + \,\,4CO\,\xrightarrow{{{T_1}}}Ni{(CO)_4}\,\xrightarrow{{{T_2}}}Ni + 4CO,$    $T_1$ and $T_2$ are

A

$100\,^oC,\,50\,^oC$

B

$50\,^oC,\,100\,^oC$

C

$50\,^oC,\,230\,^oC$

D

$230\,^oC,\,50\,^oC$

Solution

Mond process is used for the refining of nickel.

Nickel is heated with $\mathrm{CO}$ to form highly volatile nickel tetracarbonyl.

it is then decomposed to pure nickel at high temperature. $\mathrm{Ni}+4 \mathrm{CO} \stackrel{50 \mathrm{O}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\rightarrow} \mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_{4} \stackrel{230 \mathrm{C}}{\rightarrow} \mathrm{Ni}+4 \mathrm{CO}$

Thus $\mathrm{T}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{T}_{2}$ are $50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $230^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ respectively.
