Fill in the blanks with suitable reagents to show synthesis of polyvinyl chloride.
A
$$X = HCl,HgC{l_2};$$ $$Y = {\text{Polymerisation, peroxide}}$$
B
$$X = C{l_2},FeC{l_3};$$ $$Y = {\text{Polymerisation, heat}}$$
C
$$X = HCl,CuCl;$$ $$Y = {H_2}O,{H^ + }$$
D
$$X = HCl,HgC{l_2};$$ $$Y = Pt,{\text{high pressure}}$$
Polytetrafluoro ethylene $${\left( {{C_2}{F_4}} \right)_n}$$ or teflon is used to make non-stick cookware, because it is a tough material, resistant to heat and also the bad conductor of electricity.
