Question

Match List I with List II:

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• B. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• C. A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
• D. A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III

Hint:

The Haber process uses iron as a catalyst, Wacker oxidation uses palladium, Wilkinson’s catalyst is rhodium-based, and Ziegler catalyst is a combination of titanium and aluminum compounds.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Match the following processes with their corresponding catalysts:

• A. Haber process: Industrial synthesis of ammonia (N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃). Catalyst: Fe (iron). Match: A-I.

• B. Wacker oxidation: Oxidation of alkenes to carbonyl compounds. Catalyst: PdCl₂ (palladium chloride). Match: B-II.

• C. Wilkinson catalyst: Hydrogenation of alkenes. Composition: [(C₆H₅)₃RhCl] (tris(triphenylphosphine) rhodium chloride). Match: C-III.

• D. Ziegler catalyst: Polymerization of alkenes. Catalysts: TiCl₄ with Al(C₂H₅)₃ (titanium tetrachloride and triethylaluminum). Match: D-IV.

The correct sequence is (2) A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV.
