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

Let’s match the processes with their respective catalysts:

• A. Haber process: This is the process for the industrial synthesis of ammonia (N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃), and the catalyst used is Fe (iron).
  Thus, A-I.

• B. Wacker oxidation: This process involves the oxidation of alkenes to carbonyl compounds (like aldehydes or ketones), and the catalyst used is PdCl₂ (palladium chloride).
  Thus, B-II.

• C. Wilkinson catalyst: This catalyst is used in the hydrogenation of alkenes, and its composition is [(C₆H₅)₃RhCl] (tris(triphenylphosphine) rhodium chloride).
  Thus, C-III.

• D. Ziegler catalyst: This is used in the polymerization of alkenes, and the catalyst used is TiCl₄ with Al(C₂H₅)₃ (titanium tetrachloride and triethylaluminum).
  Thus, D-IV.

Thus, the correct answer is (2) A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV.
