Answer:
it mean addition of molecular hydrogen to unsaturated hydrocarbons in the presence of nickle catalyst at 200-300 C temperature. this method is used for preparation of saturated hydrocarbons/alkanes.
R------CH=CH2 + H2>>>Ni(200-300C)>>>>R-----CH2----CH3
CH2=CH2 + H2 >>>Ni(200-300C)>>>>CH3=CH3
R IS ANY ALKYL GROUP.
Explanation:On industrial scale it is used to convert vegetable oils(unsaturated hydrocarbons) into ghee(saturated hydrocarbons)
