Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{TiCl}_4\) and \(\mathrm{Et}_3 \mathrm{Al}\) used as catalyst for preparation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ziegler-Natta catalyst \(\left(\mathrm{TiCl}_4+\mathrm{Et}_3 \mathrm{Al}\right)\) is used for the preparation of high-density polythene. Branching reduces the density so high-density polythene has low degree of branching. HDPE is chemically inert and is prepared in the…
