Match the catalysts to the correct processes: Catalyst (A) TiCl3 (B) PdCl2 (C) CuCl2 (D) V2O5 Process (i) Wacker process (ii) Ziegler-Natta Polymerization (iii) Contact process (iv) Deacon's process

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

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

Solution

The correct option matches each catalyst with its respective process based on their known roles in chemical reactions: TiCl3 is used in Ziegler-Natta polymerization for producing polymers, PdCl2 is essential in the Wacker process for converting alkenes to carbonyl compounds, CuCl2 is involved in Deacon's process for producing chlorine, and V2O5 is a catalyst in the Contact process for sulfuric acid production.
