$CH_2=CH_2+H_2\rightarrow CH_3CH_3$

Hydrogenation of vegetable oils to get vegetable ghee.

Explanation:

Hydrogenation reaction is one in which hydrogen gets added to unsaturated compounds to form saturated compounds.

Example: Addition of hydrogen to ethene to give ethane

$CH_2=CH_2+H_2\rightarrow CH_3CH_3$

Industrial application: Hydrogenation of vegetable oils which is used to add hydrogen to oils in the presence of a catalyst to convert them into vegetable ghee.
