Question

Match List I with List II

LIST I		LIST II
A	Cobalt catalyst	1	(H2​+Cl2​) production
B	Syngas	2	Water gas production
C	Nickel catalyst	3	Coal gasification
D	Brine solution	4	Methanol production

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve this problem, we need to match the items in List I with the correct processes from List II. Let's go through each item one by one: 

1. Cobalt Catalyst: Cobalt catalysts are typically used in the production of methanol from syngas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen). Therefore, Cobalt Catalyst corresponds to the process of Methanol production.
2. Syngas: Syngas (synthesis gas) is a product of coal gasification, which involves the conversion of coal into gases like hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Thus, Syngas is related to Coal gasification.
3. Nickel Catalyst: Nickel catalysts are primarily used for reactions involving the conversion of steam and hydrocarbons, such as water gas shift reactions. Therefore, Nickel Catalyst is used in Water gas production.
4. Brine Solution: Brine solutions typically relate to the production of chlorine and hydrogen gas through electrolysis. Thus, Brine Solution is used in the production of (H₂ + Cl₂).

Now, match these with the pairs given in List II:

List I	List II
Cobalt Catalyst	IV - Methanol production
Syngas	III - Coal gasification
Nickel Catalyst	II - Water gas production
Brine Solution	I - (H2 + Cl2) production

Thus, the correct matching sequence is: A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
