Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the major product of the reaction of 2-methylpropene with H2 in the presence of a platinum catalyst?
  • Step 1: Identify the starting material, which is 2-methylpropene. This is an alkene with a double bond.
  • Step 2: Recognize that H2 (hydrogen gas) will react with the double bond in the alkene.
  • Step 3: Understand that a platinum catalyst is used to facilitate the reaction, allowing hydrogen to add across the double bond.
  • Step 4: The addition of hydrogen (H2) to the double bond converts it into a single bond, resulting in a saturated hydrocarbon.
  • Step 5: The product formed from this reaction is 2-methylpropane, which is an alkane.
