(A) V2O5 - Preparation of H2SO4 in contact process
The contact process is the current method of producing sulfuric acid in the high concentrations needed for industrial processes. Platinum, as a good catalyst, is susceptible to reacting with arsenic hence Vanadium oxide (V2O5) is now preferred.
(B) TiCl4 + Al(Me)3 - Polyethylene (Ziegler – Natal catalyst used for Fin polymerisation)
Ziegler–Natal catalyst is a catalyst used in the synthesis of polymers of 1-alkenes (alpha-olefins). A typical ZN catalyst system usually contains two parts: a transition metal (Group IV metals, like Ti, Zr, Hf) compound and an organo aluminum compound (co-catalyst). The common examples of ZN catalyst systems include TiCl4 + Et3Al and TiCl3 + AlEt2Cl.
(C) PdCl2 - Ethanol formation (Wacker’s Process)
Wacker’s process is the method of preparation of aldehydes and ketones from alkenes. The Wacker Oxidation is an industrial process, which allows the synthesis of ethanol from ethene by palladium-catalyzed oxidation with oxygen. Copper serves as redox cocatalyst.
(D) Iron oxide - NH3 in (Haber’s Process)
Haber’s Process is an artificial nitrogen fixation process and is the main industrial procedure for the production of ammonia today.
Thus, the correct representation of the catalyst with their products is:
