Best Answer

2-ethylhexane. This is because the hydrogenation causes the double bonds to be replaced with an H-H to fill the carbons valence vacancies.

Do all plants produce Ethylene gas?

Almost all fruiting plants, it is the fruit ripening hormone.


Why do fruits ripen faster during sunny days?

They give off ethylene gas which will ripen other fruit. Ethylene gas is also used in greenhouse to artificially ripen fruit commercially.


How do you prepare isopentene through hydrogenation?

To synthesiise isopentene by hydrogenation you will need to selectively hydrogenate isoprene. Selective hydrogenation of di-olefines is a tricky process with limited numbers of licensors. Normally isopentene is extracted from C5 raffinate.


Is hydrogenation reaction is endothermic?

no it is exothermic


What are the main ingredients of ethylene?

Ethylene contain hydrogen and carbon.

Is ethanol a biofuel?

Ethanol can be a biofuel if it is obtained from vegetable matter. It can also be produced by the hydrogenation of ethylene in a refinery or chemical plant.


WHAT IS Ethylene Cracker?

An ethylene cracker is a petrochemical plant. Primarily it takes in a feed of gas hydrocarbons (dry gas, propane, butane) or kerosene (rarer). It then heats it up to about 900degrees to literally "crack" the molecules into smaller ones. After this heating, the product is a mixture of lots of different gases and some liquids. These are then separated (refined) into different products. The primary product is ethylene. Most ethylene crackers have a hydrogenation section. This is a series of reactors which hydrogenate (add hydrogen) any acetylene turning it into ethylene. This increases the ethylene yield.


Why is no water produced during the polymerization of ethylene?

Ethylene is a Homogenuous mixture which means it doesn't produce water.


What gas is produced during decomposition of fruit?

ethylene


What is hydrogenation and why is it done?

Hydrogenation is the proccess that makes unsaturated fat have characteristics of saturated fat. During the process the shape of the fat molecule changes for cis to trans form. This process increases the risk of heart disease.


Why are cis fatty acids rearranged to trans fatty acids in the process of partial hydrogenation?

CIS fatty acids are the most common form. They rearrange to form trans fatty acids during the hydrogenation of edible oils.


How can you use the word hydrogenation in a sentence?

Margarine is produced by the hydrogenation of vegetable oils.

Can pt and pd be used in the hydrogenation of alkenes?

Pt and Pd can be used as catalyst in the hydrogenation of alkenes or (de)hydrogenation of hydrocarbons (cracking in petrol industry)


What is the process of fat hydrogenation?

The process of fat hydrogenation involves a high temperature and the involvement of a metallic catalyst. The metallic catalyst either increases or decreases the number of the chemical bonds within the molecules of the substances.


Which plant hormones causes fruit to ripen?

When liquid oils are turned into solid fats through a process?

This process is called hydrogenation.
