1. Most margarines have been hydrogenated to maintain a soft, homogeneous mixture. While the product is easy to spread, this has made the product an unhealthy choice. A hydrogenation reaction is used to convert 1. an alkene to an alkane. b. a carboxylic acid to an aldehyde. C. an alkene to a ketone d. an aromatic hydrocarbon to a linear hydrocarbon.

What are three ways that alkenes can be synthesized? and why are alkenes important functional groups?
DESCRIPTION Aldehydes and ketones are organic compounds which incorporate a carbonyl functional group, ??=??. Alcohol can be synthesized by the reduction of aldehydes and ketones. The reduction of formaldehyde forms methanol while the other aldehydes produce primary alcohols. Moreover, secondary alcohols can be produced from the reduction of ketones. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by hydride agents’ reaction, catalytic hydrogenation and Grignard reagents reduction. Heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation is the simplest method for the reduction of aldehydes and ketones into the corresponding alcohol, which is in huge demand. At present, metal catalysts are widely used in industry due to their high activity and low cost. TASK As a process engineer in a chemical manufacturing company, your team has been assigned to prepare the proposal on the process and suitable design of a reactor for catalytic hydrogenation of liquid aldehyde OR ketone into the desired alcohol based on the current…

1) The carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones is polar where the ⸹+ symbol is placed on the oxygen atom and the ⸹- symbol is placed on the carbon atom. a) True b) False 2) Why is the boiling points of ethers similar to thise of alkanes instead of alcohols? a) Both ether molecules and alkanes molecules are polar, whereas alcohol molecules are nonpolar. b) Hydrogen bonding between ethr molecules is strong and this property is similar to that of alkanes. However, hydrogen bonding is weaker in alcohols than it is in both ethers and alkanes. c) Although ether molecules are polar, they cannot form hydrogen bonds with other ether molecules. Similarly, alkane molecules do not form hydrogen bonds, whereas there is hydrogen bonding in alcohols. d) None of these are correct explanations

Mark the correct statements about the structural features of alkenes and alkynes. * A- Free rotation is not possible around a double or triple bond. B- A triple bond is shorter and stronger than a double bond. C- A pi-bond can only form by overlap of p-orbitals on adjacent atoms if these atoms are from the same element. D- The pi-bond in an alkene is weaker than the sigma bond because the sideways overlap of p-orbitals is less than the head-to-head overlap of sp² hybrid orbitals. E- All the bond angles in an alkyne are 180°.
