Match the catalysts to the correct processes: Catalyst Process (A) TiCl4 (i) Wacker process (B) PdCl2 (ii) Ziegler - Natta polymerization (C) CuCl2 (iii) Contact process (D) V2O5 (iv) Deacon's process

1. (A)-(ii), (B)-(iii), (C)-(iv), (D)-(i)
2. (A)-(iii), (B)-(ii), (C)-(i), (D)-(iv)
3. (A)-(iii), (B)-(i), (C)-(iv), (D)-(ii)
4. (A)-(ii), (B)-(i), (C)-(iv), (D)-(iii)

Correct answer: (A)-(ii), (B)-(i), (C)-(iv), (D)-(iii)

Solution

TiCl4 is used in Ziegler-Natta polymerization to produce polymers, PdCl2 is a catalyst in the Wacker process for converting alkenes to carbonyl compounds, CuCl2 is involved in the Deacon's process for producing chlorine, and V2O5 is a catalyst in the Contact process for synthesizing sulfuric acid.
