Question

In the catalytic aromatization of n-hexane into benzene, a specific catalyst mixture is heated to approximately 773 K under 10-20 atm pressure. Which of the following acts as the standard supported catalyst for this transformation?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. Aromatization (or catalytic reforming) of alkanes containing 6 or more carbons requires heavy metal oxides such as vanadium pentoxide (), chromium oxide (), or molybdenum oxide () supported on alumina () at high temperature (773 K) and pressure (10-20 atm).
