Correct answer: C
-
We check each combination one by one.
-
A. Chlorophyll -
- In chlorophyll, the central metal ion is magnesium, not cobalt.
- Chlorophyll contains a porphyrin-like ring with at the center.
- So, A is mismatched.
-
B. Water hardness -
- Hardness of water is due to and ions.
- is used in complexometric titration to estimate hardness because it forms stable chelates with these metal ions.
- So, B is correctly matched.
-
C. Photography -
- In photography, the fixing agent is hypo, i.e. sodium thiosulfate, which dissolves unreacted by forming the complex:
- The complex is associated with silver cyanide chemistry/electroplating, not photography.
- So, C is mismatched.
-
D. Wilkinson catalyst -
- Wilkinson catalyst is indeed:
- So, D is correctly matched.
-
E. Chelating ligand - D-Penicillamine
- D-Penicillamine can act as a chelating ligand because it has donor atoms capable of binding through more than one site.
- It is also used medicinally as a chelating agent for metals like copper.
- So, E is correctly matched.
-
Therefore, the mismatched combinations are:
-
From the given options, this corresponds to: Option C.
