  1. NEET 2026HardCatalysis
    Q1
    Match List I with List II:

    List I (Transition metal/compound/complex):

    A. V2O5,

    B. Fe,

    C. PdCl2,

    D. Ni complex

    List II (Catalytic Role):

    I. Preparation of ammonia from N2/H2 mixture,

    II. Polymerisation of alkynes,

    III. Preparation of H2SO4 and SO2,

    IV. Oxidation of ethyne to ethanol

    Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
    • AA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
    • BA-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
    • CA-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
    • DA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
    Show answer & solution

    Correct answer: (D)

    V2O5 -- oxidation of SO2 to SO3 (III); Fe -- Haber process (I); PdCl2 --

    oxidation of ethyne to ethanol (IV); Ni complex -- polymerisation of

    alkynes (II). So A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
