Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is the correct product of the reaction between 1-butyne and H2 in the presence of a catalyst?
  • Step 1: Identify the starting material, which is 1-butyne. It has a triple bond between carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: Understand that hydrogenation is a reaction where hydrogen (H2) is added to a compound.
  • Step 3: Recognize that a catalyst is used to speed up the reaction without being consumed.
  • Step 4: When 1-butyne reacts with H2 in the presence of a catalyst, the triple bond will be converted into a single bond.
  • Step 5: This process fully saturates the molecule, meaning all bonds are single bonds.
  • Step 6: The final product after hydrogenation of 1-butyne is butane, which has no double or triple bonds.
