(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It should be determined that the number of alkenes used to prepare methylcyclopentane by hydrogenation process.

Concept introduction:

  • The amount of heat released in a hydrogenation reaction is known as heat of hydrogenation(ΔH0).
  • The most stable alkene has the smallest heat of hydrogenation.
  • The stability of an alkene increases as the number of alkyl substituents bonded to its sp2 carbon increases.
  • The stability of an alkene increases as the number of hydrogen bonded to its sp2 carbon decreases.
    • Catalytic hydrogenation is the process of addition of hydrogen to a compound in the presence of a catalyst.  The most common metal catalyst is palladium, which is used as a powder absorbed on charcoal to maximize its surface area.  The metal catalyst is required to weaken the very strong HH bond.
    • A meso compound is a molecule with multiple stereocentres that is super imposable on its mirror image.

(b)
