Solution
The hydrogenation of propyne with lindlar's catalyst (Pd / barium sulphate) gives prop-1-ene. In this reaction, a carbon-carbon triple bond is reduced to the double bond.
Propane could be formed if lindlar's catalyst would have taken in excess.
Hence, the given statement is false and the correct entry is 0.
