Question

Role of triethylaluminium in poly- merisation of ethene (ziegler natta catalyst)

Answer 1

Zielge Natta catlyst is a mixture of triethylaluminium and titanium tetrachloride, which is used in the synthesis of high density polyethene from ethene. A Ziegler–Natta catalyst, named after Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta, is a catalyst used in the synthesis of polymers of 1-alkenes (alpha-olefins).

Answer 2

Ziegler Natta catalyst is a mixture of triethylaluminium and titanium tetrachloride, which is used in the synthesis of high density polythene from ethane. We know that a catalyst is a substance which basically boosts up a chemical reaction.
