Ethyne to ethene

Open in App

Solution

In organic conversion, a suitable reagent reacts with the reactant molecule to form an intermediate which is converted into final products.
The reaction of the Hydrogen $(H)$ molecule with an unsaturated compound in the presence of a metal catalyst forms the saturated compound is called a hydrogenation reaction.
The conversion of Ethyne $(C_{2} H_{2})$ to Ethene $(C_{2} H_{4})$ involves the breaking of a triple bond by the addition of a Hydrogen molecule in the presence of a metal catalyst.
The chemical equation for the conversion of Ethyne to ethene can be written as:
$HC \equiv CH + H - H \overset{Ni catalyst}{\to} {CH}_{2} = {CH}_{2} (Ethyne) (Hydrogen) (Ethene)$
