JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2023 - 13th April Morning Shift - No. 5)

The mismatched combinations are

A. Chlorophyll - Co

B. Water hardness - EDTA

C. Photography $$-\left[\mathrm{Ag}(\mathrm{CN})_{2}\right]^{-}$$

D. Wilkinson catalyst $$-\left[\left(\mathrm{Ph}_{3} \mathrm{P}\right)_{3} \mathrm{RhCl}\right]$$

E. Chelating ligand - D-Penicillamine

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

A and E Only
D and E Only
A and C Only
A, C, and E Only

Explanation

Let's analyze each combination :

A. Chlorophyll - Co : Mismatched. Chlorophyll has a magnesium (Mg) ion at its center, not cobalt (Co).

B. Water hardness - EDTA : Correct match. EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is used to treat water hardness by chelating metal ions like Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺.

C. Photography - [Ag(CN)₂]⁻ : Mismatched. Silver halides (AgX, where X = Cl, Br, I) are used in photography, not [Ag(CN)₂]⁻.

D. Wilkinson catalyst - [(Ph₃P)₃RhCl] : Correct match. Wilkinson's catalyst is a homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst with the formula [(Ph₃P)₃RhCl].

E. Chelating ligand - D-Penicillamine : Correct match. D-Penicillamine is a chelating agent that can bind to metal ions through multiple coordination sites.

The mismatched combinations are A and C. So, the correct answer is :

A and C Only.
