Question

how can you prepare ethane from alkenes​

Answer 1

answer

Alkane can be prepared from alkene and alkyne through the process of hydrogenation. In this process, dihydrogen gas is added to alkynes and alkenes in the present catalyst. This catalysts which are finely divided is like nickel, palladium or platinum to form alkanes.

Answer 2

=> Hydrogenation is used to prepare Ethane from Ethene.

=> This reaction takes place at a temperature of 300 °C and in the presence of the catalyst Nickel.

Equation:

                       Ni

C2H4 + H2 ---------------> C2H6

                       300 °C
