Question

Explain the use of different transition metals as catalysts.

Answer 1

1. The transition metals are very good catalysts.
   \[\ce{2KCiO3 ->[\Delta][MnO2] 2KCl + 3O2}\]
2. In the manufacture of ammonia by Haber’s process, Mo/Fe is used as a catalyst.
   \[\ce{N2(g) + 3H2(g) ->[Fe][\Delta] 2NH3(g)}\]
