Question

Given catalyst and corresponding process are matched. The mismatch is

• A. [RhCl(pph$_3$)$_2$] : Hydrogenation
• B. TiCl$_4$ + Al(C$_2$H$_5$)$_3$ : Polymerization
• C. V$_2$O$_5$ : Haber-Bosch process
• D. Ni : Hydrogenation

Hint:

V$_2$O$_5$ → contact process; Fe → Haber process.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Check each pair from industrial/organic chemistry: - (A) Wilkinson catalyst is indeed used for hydrogenation → true. - (B) Ziegler-Natta reagents used for polymerization → true. - (D) Nickel used as hydrogenation catalyst → true.
Step 2: Vanadium pentoxide is used in contact process for H$_2$SO$_4$, not in Haber process.
Step 3: Therefore statement (C) is wrongly matched. Hence → (C).
