During the catalytic hydrogenation of ethyne, ethene is formed first which in the next step is further reduced to ethane. In this reaction, the heat of hydrogenation of the first π bond is higher than that of the second. Internal alkynes are more stable than terminal ones as exemplified by the heat of hydrogenation of isomeric butynes to butane.
