Question

Match the following reactions with their names.
Reaction A:
$H_2+\mathrm{vegetable}\mathrm{oils}\stackrel{\mathrm{Ni}}{\to }\mathrm{edible}\mathrm{fats}$

Reaction B:
$H_2+\mathrm{CO}+\mathrm{olefins}\to \mathrm{aldehydes}$

Reaction C:
$N_2\left(g\right)+3H_2\left(g\right)\to 2{\mathrm{NH}}_3\left(g\right)$

• A. Hydrogenation
• B. Hydroformylation
• C. Haber's process

Answer 1

Hydrogen gas converts unsaturated fatty acids present in vegetable oils into edible fats. This process is called hydrogenation.

Olefins react with carbon monoxide $\left(\mathrm{CO}\right)$ and water to form aldehydes. This process is called hydroformylation.

Nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas in the presence of iron catalyst to produce ammonia. This process is called Haber's process.
