The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to understand the process described: 1. **Identify the Reactant**: The question mentions ethene, which is represented by the chemical formula \( \text{C}_2\text{H}_4 \). 2. **Conditions of the Reaction**: The reaction takes place under specific conditions: - Temperature: 350-370 K - Pressure: 1000-2000 atm - Presence of a trace of oxygen or peroxide 3. **Understanding the Reaction**: Under these conditions, ethene undergoes a polymerization reaction. This means that multiple ethene molecules will join together to form a larger molecule, which is a polymer. 4. **Product Formation**: The polymer formed from ethene is known as polyethylene. There are two main types of polyethylene: - High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) - Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, when ethene is heated at the specified conditions in the presence of oxygen or peroxide, polyethylene is obtained. ### Final Answer: When ethene is heated at 350-370 K under a pressure of 1000-2000 atm in the presence of a trace of oxygen or peroxide, **polyethylene** is obtained.
