Interpretation:
It should be determined that the number of
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 H−H bond.
- A meso compound is a molecule with multiple stereocentres that is super imposable on its mirror image.
(b)
Interpretation:
Most stable alkene should be identified that which was used to prepare methylcyclopentane.
