Question

Match the products in Group 1 with the manufacturing processes in Group 2

Group 1	Group 2
P) Acetaldehyde	I) Sulfate process
Q) Sulfuric acid	II) Electric furnace process
R) Pulp	III) Wacker process
S) Phosphorus	IV) Contact process

• A. P-III, Q-IV, R-I, S-II
• B. P-III, Q-I, R-IV, S-II
• C. P-IV, Q-I, R-II, S-III
• D. P-I, Q-IV, R-II, S-III

Hint:

Wacker process \(\Rightarrow\) Acetaldehyde.
Contact process \(\Rightarrow\) Sulfuric acid.
Sulfate (Kraft) process \(\Rightarrow\) Pulp.
Electric furnace \(\Rightarrow\) Phosphorus.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Match Acetaldehyde (P). Acetaldehyde is industrially produced by the Wacker process, where ethylene is oxidized to acetaldehyde using PdCl\(_2\) and CuCl\(_2\). \[ P \;\rightarrow\; III \] Step 2: Match Sulfuric acid (Q). Sulfuric acid is manufactured by the Contact process, where SO\(_2\) is oxidized to SO\(_3\) and absorbed in water. \[ Q \;\rightarrow\; IV \] Step 3: Match Pulp (R). Wood pulp for paper is produced by the Sulfate process (also known as the Kraft process). \[ R \;\rightarrow\; I \] Step 4: Match Phosphorus (S). Elemental phosphorus is manufactured by the Electric furnace process, reducing phosphate rock with coke and silica at high temperatures. \[ S \;\rightarrow\; II \] Step 5: Final Combination: \[ P-III,\quad Q-IV,\quad R-I,\quad S-II \] This matches with option (A). \[ \boxed{\text{Correct Answer: (A)}} \]
