Question
Oils on treating with hydrogen in the presence of palladium or nickel catalyst form fats. This is an example of
Options
Addition reaction
Substitution reaction
Displacement reaction
Oxidation reaction
Solution
Addition reaction
Explanation -
Unsaturated hydrocarbons add hydrogen in the presence of catalysts such as palladium or nickel to give saturated hydrocarbons. This addition reaction is commonly used in the hydrogenation of vegetable oils using a nickel catalyst. Vegetable oils generally have long unsaturated carbon chains while animal fats have saturated carbon chains.
