Step-by-step solution

2 steps

The question asks to identify the process in which V2O5\text{V}_2\text{O}_5 (Vanadium(V) oxide) is used as a catalyst.

  1. Recall the catalysts used in each industrial process.

    • The Solvay process is used to produce sodium carbonate and does not typically use V2O5\text{V}_2\text{O}_5 as a catalyst.
    • The Haber process synthesizes ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen, using finely divided iron as a catalyst.
    • The Contact process is used for the industrial production of sulfuric acid. A key step in this process is the oxidation of sulfur dioxide (SO2\text{SO}_2) to sulfur trioxide (SO3\text{SO}_3), which is catalyzed by V2O5\text{V}_2\text{O}_5.
    • The Ostwald process is used to produce nitric acid from ammonia, using a platinum-rhodium alloy as a catalyst.
  2. Identify the process that uses V2O5\text{V}_2\text{O}_5.

    Based on the information above, V2O5\text{V}_2\text{O}_5 is the catalyst used in the Contact process.

    The final answer is C. Contact process\text{C. Contact process}
