Problem 86P

Like any catalyst, palladium, platinum, and nickel catalyze both directions of a reaction: addition of hydrogen to (hydrogénation) and its elimination from (dehydrogenation) carbon double bonds.

(a)         Which variable determines whether an alkene will be hydrogenated or dehydrogenated?

(b)   Which reaction requires a higher temperature?

(c)        How can all- Trans fats arise during hydrogénation of fats that contain some cis- double bonds?
