![**8.3 What product would you obtain from catalytic hydrogenation of the following alkene?**
The image shows a chemical reaction involving an alkene undergoing catalytic hydrogenation. The starting molecule is a five-membered carbon ring (cyclopentene) with a double bond and two alkyl substituents attached, represented by lines extending from the ring.
The reaction is carried out in the presence of hydrogen gas (H₂) and a palladium on carbon (Pd/C) catalyst. The arrow indicates the conversion of the starting compound under these conditions.
Catalytic hydrogenation typically converts alkenes to alkanes by adding hydrogen across the double bond, resulting in a saturated compound without any double bonds. The reaction will yield a cyclopentane with two alkyl groups attached, replacing the double bond with single bonds.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc62819af-1f81-4d59-bfb3-1ca1702855ed%2F75167138-1ce9-42cf-9479-ddf23c858216%2Fuoqahfy_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
