Question

Give two equations to show the conversion of a unsaturated compound to saturated compound.

Answer 1

The conversion of a unsaturated compounds to saturated compounds is shown by the following two equations:

1. $\underset{\mathrm{Ethene}}{{\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_4}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\underset{\mathrm{Ni}}{\overset{300°\mathrm{C}}{\to }}\underset{\mathrm{Ethane}}{{\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_6}$
2. $\underset{\mathrm{Ethene}}{{\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_4}+{\mathrm{Cl}}_2\to \underset{1,2-\mathrm{Dichloroethene}}{{\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_4{\mathrm{Cl}}_2}$
