How would you convert ethene to ethane molecule?
your answer?
Answers
Answer:
these are saturated campount and its process is hydrogination
Answer:
Conversion of an Unsaturated alkene-Ethene(C2H4) to a saturated alkane-Ethane(C2H6) involves a REDUCTION PROCESS. An alkene contains a Double bond which is substituted for with HYDROGEN atoms in an alkane in the reduction process. Basically, ADDITION OF HYDROGEN or REMOVAL OF OXYGEN is REDUCTION PROCESS.
Explanation:
Manufacture of ethene (ethylene)
Ethene is produced from the cracking of fractions obtained from distillation of natural gas and oil. (which can vary considerably), and what other products from cracking are needed. The vast majority of ethene is produced by steam cracking.
To convert ethyne into ethane do hydrogenation of the alkene 2 times in the presence of a catalyst like Palladium or Renny Ni in room temp. 25°C. Answer: By hydrogenation of alkynes in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel or platinum.
