Question

Hydrogenation, with a catalyst, of which compounds would produce a 3-pentanol?

A. Propene
B. Butyne
C. Ethanol
D. Methane

Answer 1

Propene (propylene) would produce 3-pentanol through hydrogenation with a catalyst.

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound that would produce 3-pentanol through hydrogenation with a catalyst is propene (also known as propylene). Hydrogenation is a reaction in which molecular hydrogen is added to an alkene to produce an alkane. In this case, propene (C3H6) would react with hydrogen (H2) in the presence of a catalyst, such as platinum, to produce 3-pentanol (C5H12O).
