Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) It needs high pressure \((1000-2000 \mathrm{~atm})\) for synthesis.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

HDP is obtained by polymerization of ethene in presence of Zieglar-Natta catalyst at a temperature of \(333 \mathrm{~K}\) to \(343 \mathrm{~K}\) and a pressure of 6-7 atm. Its melting point (in the range of 144\(150^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ) is higher than that of LDP (melting point \(110^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ).
