Catalyst used in the oxidation of benzene to produce Maleic anhydride is ______________________?
Correct answer: A. V2O5
- A. V2O5
- B. Pt
- C. Ni
- D. Cr
Explanation
Vanadium pentoxide, V₂O₅, catalyses the vapor-phase oxidation of benzene to maleic anhydride. Platinum and nickel are used in other oxidation or hydrogenation processes, not this standard route.
