The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which statements are correct about catalysts used in the polymerization and hydrogenation of alkenes, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ziegler-Natta Catalyst**: - The Ziegler-Natta catalyst is used for the polymerization of alkenes, specifically for producing high-density polyethylene (HDPE). - The correct formula for the Ziegler-Natta catalyst is TiCl4 + Et3Al (where TiCl4 is titanium tetrachloride and Et3Al is triethylaluminum). **Hint**: Remember that Ziegler-Natta catalysts are specifically designed for alkene polymerization. 2. **Understanding Wilkinson Catalyst**: - The Wilkinson catalyst is a homogeneous catalyst used for the hydrogenation of alkenes. - Its formula is often represented as Rh(PPh3)3Cl, where Rh is rhodium, and PPh3 is triphenylphosphine. **Hint**: Focus on the role of the Wilkinson catalyst in hydrogenation reactions. 3. **Evaluating the Statements**: - **Statement A**: "A heterogeneous catalyst used in a polymerization of alkene is Ziegler-Natta catalyst." - This statement is **correct** because Ziegler-Natta catalysts are indeed used for alkene polymerization. - **Statement B**: "A homogeneous catalyst used in a hydrogenation of alkene is Wilkinson catalyst." - This statement is also **correct** as the Wilkinson catalyst is used for hydrogenating alkenes. - **Statement C**: "Formula for the Ziegler-Natta catalyst is RHCl PbH3 whole twice and for Wilkinson catalyst is TiCl4 plus Et3Al." - This statement is **incorrect**. The correct formula for Ziegler-Natta catalyst is TiCl4 + Et3Al, not RHCl PbH3 whole twice. - **Statement D**: "Wilkinson catalyst also reduces acid RCOH to RCH2OH." - This statement is **correct** because the Wilkinson catalyst can reduce carboxylic acids (RCOOH) to primary alcohols (RCH2OH). 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct statements are A, B, and D. - Therefore, the correct answer includes statements A, B, and D. ### Final Answer: The correct statements are A, B, and D.
