Explanation / Answer

(a)

The main production method is the oxidation of ethylene via the Wacker process. The process involves oxidation of ethylene using ahomogeneous palladium/copper system:

2 CH2=CH2 + O2 ? 2 CH3CHO

In the 1970s, the world capacity of this process, the Wacker-Hoechst direct oxidation, increased to over 2
