- II. $\text{PdCl}_2$
- III. $[(\text{PPh}_3)_3\text{RhCl}]$
- IV. $\text{TiCl}_4$ with $\text{Al(CH}_3)_3$
Correct answer: A → I, B → II, C → III, D → IV
Explanation
Haber process: Fe catalyst; Wacker oxidation: $\text{PdCl}_2$; Wilkinson catalyst: $[(\text{PPh}_3)_3\text{RhCl}]$; Ziegler catalyst: $\text{TiCl}_4 + \text{Al(CH}_3)_3$.
Detailed Solution
Industrial and chemical catalysts: 1. Haber process synthesizes ammonia using finely divided iron catalyst with molybdenum/potassium oxide promoters (I). 2. Wacker oxidation converts ethene to ethanal using $\text{PdCl}_2$ with $\text{CuCl}_2$ co-catalyst (II). 3. Wilkinson's catalyst is chlorotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I), $[(\text{PPh}_3)_3\text{RhCl}]$, used for homogeneous alkene hydrogenation (III). 4. Ziegler-Natta catalyst is titanium tetrachloride with trialkylaluminium, $\text{TiCl}_4 + \text{Al(CH}_3)_3$, used in stereospecific alkene polymerization (IV). Thus, A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV.
