Match the catalysts (Column I) with products (Column II). Column I Catalyst (A) V2O5 (B) TiCl4 / Al(Me)3 (C) PdCl2 (D) Iron Oxide Column II Product (i) Polyethylene (ii) ethanol (iii) H2SO4 (iv) NH3

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

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

Solution

The correct option matches each catalyst with its respective product based on their known chemical reactions: V2O5 is used in the production of sulfuric acid (H2SO4), TiCl4/Al(Me)3 is a catalyst for producing polyethylene, PdCl2 is involved in the synthesis of ethanol, and iron oxide is used in the Haber process to produce ammonia (NH3).
