Medium
Match the process in Group I with the catalyst in Group II: P. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, Q. Formaldehyde from methanol, R. Hydrogenation of vegetable oils, S. Dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene — I. Nickel, II. Fe2O3, III. Silver, IV. Cobalt
- AP-III, Q-IV, R-I, S-II
- BP-IV, Q-II, R-I, S-III
- P-IV, Q-III, R-I, S-II
- DP-III, Q-IV, R-II, S-I
Explanation
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis classically uses a cobalt catalyst (P-IV). Formaldehyde is made from methanol over a silver catalyst (Q-III). Vegetable oil hydrogenation uses a nickel catalyst (R-I). Ethylbenzene dehydrogenation to styrene uses an iron oxide (Fe2O3) catalyst (S-II).
