Two carbon compounds A and B have the molecular formula CH, and C,H, respectively. Which one of the two is most likely to show addition reaction? Justify your answer. Explain with the help of a chemical equation how an addition reaction is useful in the vegetable-ghee industry.

Explanation

`C_3H_6` is the unsaturated compound and hence it undergoes addition reaction.
`C_3H_6` (propene) undergoes reduction in the presence of nickel or platinum catalyst to give a saturated hydrocarbon `C_3H_6` (propane).
The above reaction finds its application in the industry where an unsaturated vegetable oil is converted to its saturated vegetable ghee by carrying out the hydrogenation of oil.
