Question
Convert ethyne to ethane.
Solution
Ethyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon, and when hydrogen and acetylene are passed over finely divided nickel at 200°C forms an additional compound, ethane.
\[\ce{\underset{Acetylene}{H - C ≡ C - H + H2} ->[Ni 200^\circ C] \underset{Ethene}{CH2 = CH2} ->[Ni 200^\circ C] \underset{Ethane}{CH3 - CH3}}\]
