The Sabatier-Senderens reduction is carried out by passing the vapors of organic compound mixed with hydrogen over _______ catalyst at `200-300^(@)C`.

A

`NiO`

B

`Pt`

C

`Pd`

D

`Ni`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The `Ni` catalyst was prepared by the scientists by reducing `NiO` (deposited on a suitable inert porous support, e.g., Kieselguhr) with a `Ni` salt, treated with `NaOH`, washed and dreid and the resulting `NiO` was reduced with `H_(2)` at `300-450^(@)C`.
