In Fischer-Ringe's method of separation of nobles gas mixture from air ............. is used
  1. $90 \% \mathrm{CaC}_2+10 \% \mathrm{CaCl}_2$
  2. coconut charcoal
  3. soda lime + potash solution
  4. $90 \% \mathrm{CaCO}_3+10 \%$ urea

Solution

In Fischer Ringe's method, air free from moisture and $\mathrm{CO}_2$ is passed over a heated mixture $\left(800^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$ of $90 \%$ $\mathrm{CaC}_2+10 \% \mathrm{CaCl}_2$ in an iron tube, when following reactions take place $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{CaC}_2+\mathrm{N}_2 \stackrel{800^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CaCN}_2+\mathrm{C} \\ & 2 \mathrm{C}+\mathrm{O} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO} \\ & \mathrm{C}+\mathrm{O}_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}_2 \\ & 2 \mathrm{CaC}_2+3 \mathrm{CO}_2 \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{CaCO}_3+5 \mathrm{C} \\ & \mathrm{CuO}+\mathrm{CO} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cu}+\mathrm{CO}_2 \end{aligned}$ $\mathrm{CO}_2$ gas is now absorbed by $\mathrm{KOH}$ solution. Thus a mixture of inert gases is obtained.
