O Levels Chemistry (5070)•5070/12/O/N/23
Question 17 from 5070/12/O/N/23

Explanation

Matching catalyst for Haber process and product of alkene hydrogenation

Steps:

  • Identify Haber process: N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃, catalyzed by iron.
  • Identify alkene hydrogenation: Alkene + H₂ → alkane, catalyzed by nickel.
  • Determine row format: First word as Haber catalyst, second as alkene product.
  • Match to choices: Iron for Haber, alkane as product.

Why A is correct:

  • Haber process uses iron catalyst (promotes N≡N bond breaking); alkene + H₂ yields alkane via addition across C=C bond.

Why the others are wrong:

  • B: Nickel catalyzes hydrogenation, not Haber process.
  • C: Nickel is alkene hydrogenation catalyst, but Haber requires iron.
  • D: Hydrogenation product is alkane, not alcohol.

Final answer: A

Topic: Alkenes
