Indicate the principle behind the method used for the refining of Nickel.

Answer»

Solution :Nickel is heated in a stream of carbon monoxide forming a volatile complex, nickel tetracarbonyl
`NI +4CO overset(330-350K) (to) Ni(CO)_(4)`
The carbonyl is heated to a HIGHER TEMPERATURE to give BACK the pure metal.
`Ni (CO)_(4) overset(450-470 K)(to) Ni +4CO`.
