QUESTION:

In each of the following pairs of compounds identify the compound that liberates the most heat upon hydrogenation: (a) (b)

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

This multipart exercise gives us pairs of unsaturated compounds, and asks us to identify the compound in each pair that will liberate the most heat upon hydrogenation. In order to gauge this, recall that alkene compounds which are higher in energy will liberate more heat upon hydrogenation. We therefore need to gauge which alkene compound is less stable (higher in energy) than the other; it’ll be this one which liberates more heat upon hydrogenation.
