How would you convert ethene into ethane?

Chemical Equations/Structures
Very Long Answer

Solution

The two hydrogen atoms are added to the unsaturated molecule, turning it into a saturated one, when ethene and hydrogen are passed across finely split catalysts like nickel at 200°C or platinum or palladium at room temperature.

\[\ce{\underset{Ethene}{C2H4} + H2 ->[200^\circ C][Ni] \underset{Ethane}{C2H6}}\]
