The complex used as an anti-cancer agent is
mer-[Co(NH3)3Cl3]
cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2]
cis-K2[PtCl2Br2]
Na2[CoCl4]
B.
cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2]
Cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2] is used as an anti-cancer agent, called as cisplatin and is highly toxic. On injecting, the more reactive Cl groups are lost so the Pt atom bonds to a N atom in guanosine (part of the DNA molecule). Those cells which are undergoing cell division are attacked by cisplatin.
In the extraction of copper from sulphide ore the metal is formed by reduction of Cu2O with
FeS
CO
Cu2S
SO2

Which of the following reactions is used to make a fuel cell?
Cd(s) + 2Ni(OH)3 → CdO(s) + 2Ni(OH)2(s) + H2O(l)
Pb(s) + PbO2(s) + 2H2SO4(aq) → 2PbSO4(s) + 2H2O(l)
2H2(g) + O2(g) →6 2H2O(l)
2Fe(s) + O2(g) + 4H+ (aq) → 2Fe2+(aq) + 2H2O(l)
