Problem 19 - Entrance Test

The conversion of an alkene to an alkane involves which type of reaction?

Correct: C

The conversion of an alkene (containing a C=C double bond) to an alkane (containing only C-C single bonds) requires the addition of hydrogen across the double bond. This process is called hydrogenation, which is a type of addition reaction, usually carried out in the presence of a catalyst like Ni, Pt, or Pd.
