Question

Convert propene into propane

Answer 1

Propene is converted to propane by using hydrogen gas in presence of nickel or palladium catalyst .

Answer 2

• Propene can be converted into propane by the reduction of propene with hydrogen in the presence of finely powdered nickel or platinum or palladium catalyst. This process is called catalytic hydrogenation.

              CH₃ - CH=CH₂  ---------->  CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₃

• The temperature and pressure of the reaction depends on the nature of the catalyst used.
