Question

preparation of alkanes from unsaturated hydrocarbons​

Answer 1

Answer:

Preparation of Alkanes from unsaturated hydrocarbon:

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. With the help of nickel as the catalyst, this reaction takes place at an elevated temperature, whereas the reaction takes place at room temperature with platinum as the catalyst.
