Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the product of the hydrogenation of 2-pentyne?
  • Step 1: Identify the compound 2-pentyne, which has a triple bond between the second and third 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 triple bond in 2-pentyne will be converted into a single bond.
  • Step 4: After the triple bond is saturated with hydrogen, the compound becomes fully saturated.
  • Step 5: The fully saturated product of 2-pentyne after hydrogenation is pentane, which has no double or triple bonds.
