Options
- AA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- BA-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
- CA-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
- DA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Correct answer
D. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Step-by-step solution
V ₂ O ₅ is used as a catalyst in the Contact process for the oxidation of SO ₂ to SO ₃ during the preparation of H ₂ SO ₄ . Thus, A matches with III. Finely divided Fe is used as a catalyst in the Haber process for the preparation of ammonia from N ₂ and H ₂ mixture. Thus, B matches with I. PdCl ₂ is used as a catalyst in the Wacker process for the oxidation of ethene (referred to as ethyne in the given options) to ethanal. Thus, C matches with IV. Ni complexes are used as catalysts for the polymerisation of alkyne
