Statement II : is used for the restoration of aerobic conditions to sewage wastes.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Statement I : is used in the synthesis of Cephalosporin
Statement II : is used for the restoration of aerobic conditions to sewage wastes.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
- AStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- Correct answerBBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- CStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Solution
is used in the synthesis of hydroquinone, tartaric acid and certain food products and pharmaceuticals (cephalosporin).
It is increasingly being used in environmental chemistry to control pollution by treatment of domestic and industrial effluents, oxidation of cyanide, and restoration of aerobic conditions to sewage waste.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
