Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Solution
Here, we have to match the reactions with their correct catalyst :
<br/><br/>
(A) $$\mathrm{N}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+3 \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \stackrel{\mathrm{Fe}_{\mathrm{x}} \mathrm{O}_{\mathrm{y}}+\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{Al}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}}{\longrightarrow} 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}(\mathrm{~g})$$
<br/><br/>
(B) $$\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+3 \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \stackrel{\mathrm{Ni}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_{4}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})$$
<br/><br/>
(C) $$\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \stackrel{\mathrm{Cu}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{HCHO}(\mathrm{g})$$
<br/><br/>
(D) $$\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+2 \mathrm{H}_{2}$ (g) $\stackrel{\mathrm{Cu} / \mathrm{ZnO}-\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{OH}(\mathrm{g})$<br/><br/>$\therefore$$ Option (C) is correct option.
