Step 1: (a) R-COCl → R-CHO: This is the Rosenmund Reduction. The reagent used is Hydrogen in the presence of Palladium supported on Barium Sulphate (\(H_2/Pd\text{-}BaSO_4\)). The \(BaSO_4\) "poisons" the catalyst to stop the reduction at the aldehyde stage. So, (a)-(ii).
Step 2: (b) R-CH2-COOH → R-CH-Cl-COOH: This is the Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky (HVZ) Reaction. Carboxylic acids with \(\alpha\)-hydrogens react with \(Cl_2\) or \(Br_2\) in the presence of red phosphorus to form \(\alpha\)-halo carboxylic acids. So, (b)-(iv).
Step 3: (c) R-CONH2 → R-NH2: This is the Hoffmann Bromamide Degradation. It converts an amide into a primary amine with one less carbon atom using \(Br_2\) and \(NaOH\). So, (c)-(i).
Step 4: (d) R-COCH3 → R-CH2-CH3: This is the Clemmensen Reduction. It reduces the carbonyl group (\(>C=O\)) of aldehydes or ketones to a methylene group (\(>CH_2\)) using Zinc amalgam and concentrated \(HCl\). So, (d)-(iii).
What will be the equilibrium constant of the given reaction carried out in a \(5 \,L\) vessel and having equilibrium amounts of \(A_2\) and \(A\) as \(0.5\) mole and \(2 \times 10^{-6}\) mole respectively?
The reaction : \(A_2 \rightleftharpoons 2A\)

Cobalt chloride when dissolved in water forms pink colored complex $X$ which has octahedral geometry. This solution on treating with cone $HCl$ forms deep blue complex, $\underline{Y}$ which has a $\underline{Z}$ geometry $X, Y$ and $Z$, respectively, are
