Which catalyst is used in Wacker’s process? Correct Answer Palladium (II) chloride

In Wacker’s process ethylene is oxidized to acetaldehyde which is finally oxidized to acetone in the presence of catalyst (Palladium (II) chloride.) This reaction is considered as the first homogeneous catalysis with organopalladium chemistry applied.
