Question

the general formulas of products expected from the partial and complete hydrogenation of alkynes respectively are __________ and ___________

Answer 1

The general formulas of products expected from the partial and complete hydrogenation of alkynes respectively are __$C_nH_{2n}$________ and ___$C_nH_{2n+2}$________.

• Partial hydrogenation of alkynes in presence of Lindlar catalyst produce alkene as a product which has general formula $C_nH_{2n}$.
• Complete hydrogenation of alkynes in presence of Pt catalyst produces alkane as a product which has gener formula $C_nH_{2n+2}$
