Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Ziegler-Natta Catalyst Components:** The Ziegler-Natta catalyst is a combination of two main components: a trialkylaluminum and a transition metal halide. The specific examples are triethylaluminum (Al(C2H5)3) and titanium chloride (TiCl3 or TiCl4). 2. **Write the Components:** - First component: Triethylaluminum (Al(C2H5)3) - Second component: Titanium chloride (TiCl3 or TiCl4) 3. **Purpose of the Ziegler-Natta Catalyst:** The Ziegler-Natta catalyst is primarily used for the polymerization of alkenes to produce linear polymers. 4. **Example of Polymerization:** A common example of the polymerization process using the Ziegler-Natta catalyst is the polymerization of ethene (CH2=CH2) to produce polyethylene (CH2-CH2)n, which is a linear polymer. 5. **Final Answer:** Therefore, the Ziegler-Natta catalyst is a mixture of **Triethyl Aluminum** and **Titanium Chloride**, and it is used for the preparation of **linear polymers**. ---
