Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which reaction is commonly used to convert alkynes to alkenes?
  • Step 1: Understand that alkynes are hydrocarbons with a triple bond between carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: Know that alkenes are hydrocarbons with a double bond between carbon atoms.
  • Step 3: Learn that hydrogenation is a chemical reaction that adds hydrogen (H2) to a compound.
  • Step 4: Realize that when alkynes undergo hydrogenation, the triple bond is converted into a double bond, forming an alkene.
  • Step 5: Remember that this reaction typically requires a catalyst, such as palladium, platinum, or nickel, to proceed.
