Option B

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

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

Solution :

The correct answer is A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV.

Let us analyze each process/catalyst from List-I and match it with the correct chemical formula or catalyst component from List-II:

A. Haber process matches with I (Fe catalyst)
The Haber process is a industrial chemical method used to synthesize ammonia from nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas. The process uses iron (Fe) as a catalyst, along with promoters such as potassium oxide (K2O) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3), to increase the rate of reaction at manageable temperatures.

B. Wacker oxidation matches with II (PdCl2)
The Wacker process involves the oxidation of ethylene to acetaldehyde. It utilizes palladium(II) chloride (PdCl2) as the primary catalyst in an aqueous solution, along with copper(II) chloride (CuCl2) as a co-catalyst to reoxidize the palladium catalyst back to its active state.

C. Wilkinson catalyst matches with III ([(PPh3)3RhCl])
Wilkinson's catalyst is a coordination complex of rhodium, chlorotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I), with the chemical formula:
[(PPh3)3RhCl]
It is widely used as a homogeneous catalyst for the hydrogenation of alkenes.

D. Ziegler catalyst matches with IV (TiCl4 with Al(CH3)3)
Ziegler-Natta catalysts are a class of catalysts used in the polymerization of 1-alkenes (such as ethylene and propylene). A classic example of a Ziegler catalyst is a combination of a transition metal halide like titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) and an organometallic compound like trimethylaluminum (Al(CH3)3) or triethylaluminum (Al(C2H5)3).

Thus, matching all the options correctly:
A → I
B → II
C → III
D → IV
