Catalyst used in the catalytic polymerisation is__________________?

Correct answer: B. Phosphoric acid on kieselguhr

  • A. Aluminium chloride
  • B. Phosphoric acid on kieselguhr
  • C. Nickel
  • D. Vanadium pentoxide

Explanation

Catalytic polymerisation of light olefins traditionally uses phosphoric acid supported on kieselguhr. Aluminium chloride is associated with other acid-catalysed processes, while nickel and vanadium pentoxide are not the usual polymerisation catalyst here.
