The correct option is BC2H6
Answer is choice B.
When ethane react with hydrogen methane is obtained
Reaction takes as:
H2+C2H5→C2H6
Ethene reacts with hydrogen in the presence of a finely divided nickel catalyst at a temperature of about 150°C. Ethane is produced. This is a fairly pointless reaction because ethene is a far more useful compound than ethane.
