Question

4. Two carbon
compounds X and Y have the molecular formula C3H6 and C4H10 respectively.which
one of the two is most likely to show addition reaction ? Justify your answer. Also give the
hemical equation to explain the process of addition reaction in this case.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

as the compound Y is unsaturated is consists of a double bond which will be removed while addition reaction

Answer 2

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER MATE

(a) C3H6 will show addition reaction as it is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

(b) C3H6 reacts with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to give ethane on adding one molecule of  hydrogen across carbon-carbon bond.

C3H6 + H2 → C3H8

Vegetable oil reacts with hydrogen in presence of Ni as a catalyst to form vegetable ghee which is a  saturated compound.
