JEE Advanced Chemistry question

Not in JEE Main or NEET syllabus

Which catalyst is matched according to its name and function Catalyst / Name / Function

(A) / Fenton's reagent / oxidation of alcohols
(B) / Ziegler-Natta / Polythene preparation
(C)Pd/C / Lindlar / Hydrogen to give -alkeneCorrect
(D)Pt/PtO / Adams / Synthesis of

Answer: (C)

Solution

Fenton's reagent is actually (not ), used to generate hydroxyl radicals for oxidation — so (a) is mismatched. The Ziegler-Natta catalyst for polythene is (not ) — so (b) is mismatched. Adams' catalyst (Pt/PtO₂) is a general hydrogenation catalyst, not
