One of the most common uses for hydrogenation reactions is the making of margarines. When fats that are not saturated go through hydrogenation processes, they are saturated. This makes them melt faster which causes the margarine to become solid at the temperature of room.
General guidance
In the presence of catalysts such as platinum, nickel, or palladium carbon, alkenes react to dihydrogen to form an alkane. This is catalytic hydrogenation.
Catalytic hydrogenation can be described as a surface phenomenon. This reaction occurs when both hydrogens are added to the double bond on the same side.
Step-by-step
Step 1 from 2
Reactants include (E)-but-2 ene and dihydrogen.
Hint for next step
Reactants include (E)-but-2 ene and dihydrogen[katex]{\\rm{(}}{{\\rm{H}}_{\\rm{2}}})[/katex]
Hydrogen atoms also add double-bonded carbons.
Step 2 from 2
The products are, therefore,
Explanation
(E)-but-2 ene is reduced in [katex]{{\\rm{H}}_{\\rm{2}}}{\\rm{,Pt}}[/katex]
Answer
The products are, therefore,
