1. They are good shape selective catalysts
2. They contain Al-O-Si framework
3. They are not found in nature
4. They are used as catalysts for cracking hydrocarbons in the petrochemical industry.

I, II & IV only
I, II, III & IV
Step 1: Understand the structure of Zeolites.
Zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicates composed of a three-dimensional framework of \(\text{Al-O-Si}\) tetrahedra.
This framework creates pores and cavities, giving zeolites their unique properties.
Step 2: Analyze the given statements.
1. Zeolites are good shape selective catalysts.
- Correct. Their porous structure allows selective catalysis based on molecular size.
2. They contain Al-O-Si framework.
- Correct. The fundamental structure of zeolites is an aluminosilicate framework.
3. They are not found in nature.
- Incorrect. Zeolites occur naturally as minerals, though synthetic versions are also widely used.
4. They are used as catalysts for cracking hydrocarbons in the petrochemical industry.
- Correct. Zeolites are extensively used as catalysts in fluid catalytic cracking due to their acidity and shape selectivity.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct statements are I, II & IV only.
The reactions which occur in blast furnace at 500 – 800 K during extraction of iron from haematite are
i. \(3Fe_2O_3 + CO \rightarrow 2Fe_3O_4 + CO_2\)
ii. \(Fe_2O_3 + 3C \rightarrow 2Fe + 3CO\)
iii. \(FeO + 4CO \rightarrow 3Fe + 4CO_2\)
iv. \(FeO + CO \rightarrow 2FeO + CO_2\)
