Question

Why is vanadium pentoxide considered a better catalyst than platinised asbestos?

Solution

Dear Student

Platinised asbestos, although more effective in catalysis, suffers from two major limitations;
1. It is expensive and
2. It can get easily poisoned by impurities like As₂O₃
That is why vanadium pentoxide can be used here.
