| B. | Wacker oxidation | II. | PdCl2 |
| C. | Wilkinson catalyst | III. | [(PPh3)3RhCl] |
| D. | Ziegler catalyst | IV. | TiCl4 with Al(CH3)3 |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Correct Answer :
A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
Solution :
To match the processes in List‑I with the correct catalysts in List‑II, we consider the well‑known industrial and laboratory reactions.
1. Haber process (A) – This is the industrial synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen. The reaction is carried out over an iron (Fe) catalyst under high pressure and temperature. Therefore, A matches with I (Fe catalyst).
2. Wacker oxidation (B) – This reaction converts an alkene (typically ethylene) to a ketone (acetaldehyde) using a palladium(II) chloride catalyst in the presence of copper(II) chloride as a co‑catalyst. The key catalyst is PdCl2. Hence, B matches with II (PdCl2).
3. Wilkinson catalyst (C) – The Wilkinson catalyst is the complex [(PPh3)3RhCl] used for homogeneous hydrogenation of alkenes. This directly corresponds to entry III in List‑II.
4. Ziegler catalyst (D) – Ziegler–Natta polymerisation employs a titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) component together with an organo‑aluminium compound such as Al(CH3)3. This matches entry IV (TiCl4 with Al(CH3)3).
Combining these matches gives the correct set of correspondences: A‑I, B‑II, C‑III, D‑IV.
