Question

Hydrogenolysis is a reaction which leads to the reduction products of ...?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hydrogenolysis is a chemical reaction whereby a carbon–carbon or carbon–heteroatom single bond is cleaved or undergoes "lysis" by hydrogen. The heteroatom may vary, but it usually is oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. A related reaction is hydrogenation, where hydrogen is added to the molecule, without cleaving bonds.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option (c) Alcohol.

Explanation:

• Hydrogenolysis is a reaction which leads to the formation of glycerol and reduction products of alcohol.
• Hydrogenolysis is a chemical reaction whereby a carbon–carbon or carbon–heteroatom single bond is cleaved or undergoes "lysis" by hydrogen.
• The heteroatom may vary, but it usually is oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur.
• A related reaction is hydrogenation, where hydrogen is added to the molecule, without cleaving bonds.
• An example of an alkene addition reaction is a process called hydrogenation.In a hydrogenation reaction, two hydrogen atoms are added across the double bond of an alkene, resulting in a saturated alkane.
