Answer:
Explanation:
C2H2+ 2H2→C2H6(use nickel in this reaction)
Where C2H2 is unsaturated hydrocarbon and on hydrogenation it becomes ethane,ie, C2H6.
Nickel ,in hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons, acts as a catalyst which speeds up the reaction.
Hydrogenation is used to convert vanaspati oils to saturated forms
