Question

Two carbon compounds A and B have molecular formulae CH,, and CH, respectively.
Which one of the two most likely to show addition reaction? Justify your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Compound A is C3H8. its propane saturated hydrocarbon.it does not undergo addition reaction.

compound B is C3H6.Its Propene unsaturated hydrocarbon. it undergoes addition reaction.

Addition reaction involves addition of H2 to unsaturated hydrocarbon in presence of Nickel catalyst when they are heated. it gives saturated hydrocarbon.

heat

C2H4 +H2 --------->. C2H6

Ni catalyst

Hydrogenation of oil: Vegetable oil like ground nut oil which is liquid at room temperature undergoes addition reaction and gives vegetable ghee or dalda.

vegetable oil contains unsaturated fatty acids which are good for our health.

heat

veg.oil + H2 ---------> Veg.Ghee

Ni

Answer 2

Answer:

Two carbon compounds A and B have molecular formulae CH,, and CH, respectively. most likely to show addition reaction. your answer. is carbon compounds

hope it helps you
