In petrochemical industry, the alcohols are converted to gasoline by passing over heated ZSM-5.
Explanation:
In petrochemical industry, the alcohols are converted to gasoline by passing over heated ZSM-5. This reaction of alcohols conversion is known as shape selective catalysis.
ZSM-5 is a type of shape selective catalyst. It is a good shape catalyst as it has a structure similar to honey comb. They have 3-D and micro-porous structure.
The reaction that takes place in this equation depends upon the shape and size of the product molecules and reactant.
Therefore, the correct option is (b) ZSM-5.
