Answer 1

Answer :

this stament is true

Explanation:

the reaction to make vanaspati ghee or vegetable oil is addition reaction. CH2=CH2+H2 gives CH3—CH3 which is saturated. This reaction takes place in presence of some catalysts like nickel or palladium metals.

Answer 2

The reaction of the vegetable oil with the hydrogen gas in presence of catalyst forming vanaspathi ghee is an addition reaction.

• It is also a hydrogenation reaction. Hydrogenation reaction refers to a reaction between hydrogen and an organic compound in the presence of a catalyst to form a saturated compound.

• The vegetable oil is an unsaturated compound as it contains long and unsaturated carbon chains. This, when reacts with hydrogen gas in presence of nickel produces a saturated compound, which is the ghee.

• Saturated ccompound refers to a compound having no double bonds( only single bonds) whereas unsaturated compounds have at least one double bond.
