Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Reaction I (Haber-Bosch process): The catalyst used is iron (Fe) with small amounts of promoters like potassium oxide and aluminum oxide.
Reaction II (Water-gas shift reaction): The catalyst used is iron chromate (FeCrO$_4$) or a high-temperature catalyst like iron oxide (Fe$_3$O$_4$) promoted by chromium oxide (Cr$_2$O$_3$).
Reaction III (Steam reforming of methane): The catalyst used is nickel (Ni) on a support like alumina (Al$_2$O$_3$).
Therefore, the catalysts X, Y, and Z are Iron, Iron chromate, and Nickel, respectively.
Reaction II (Water-gas shift reaction): The catalyst used is iron chromate (FeCrO$_4$) or a high-temperature catalyst like iron oxide (Fe$_3$O$_4$) promoted by chromium oxide (Cr$_2$O$_3$).
Reaction III (Steam reforming of methane): The catalyst used is nickel (Ni) on a support like alumina (Al$_2$O$_3$).
Therefore, the catalysts X, Y, and Z are Iron, Iron chromate, and Nickel, respectively.
