Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the product of the hydrogenation of 1-hexene?
  • Step 1: Identify 1-hexene, which is a six-carbon chain with a double bond between the first and second carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: Understand that hydrogenation is a chemical reaction where hydrogen (H2) is added to a compound.
  • Step 3: Recognize that during hydrogenation, the double bond in 1-hexene will break and two hydrogen atoms will be added.
  • Step 4: After adding hydrogen, the structure will change from 1-hexene to hexane, which is a six-carbon chain with all single bonds.
