How can you put out chemical reaction from saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons? |
| Answer» Unsaturated hydrocarbons can be converted into saturated ones by the addition of hydrogen in the presence of nickel as a catalyst.Unsaturated hydrocarbons are more reactive due to presence of double or triple bonds. They undergo addition reactions across the carbon-carbon double bonds to produce saturated hydrocarbons.Addition of hydrogen across C-C double bonds is called hydrogenation. Unsaturated hydrocarbons add hydrogen in the presence of catalysts such as nickel/palladium to give saturated hydrocarbons. | |
