The reduction of an alkyne to alkene using Lindlar catalyst results into

A

cis addition of hydrogen atoms

B

trans addition of hydrogen atoms

C

a mixture obtained by cis and trans additions of hydrogen in equimolar amounts.

D

a mixture obtained by cis and trans additions of hydrogen atoms in unequal amounts.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Lindlar catalyst causes syn adiditon. Hence, cis addition of hydrogen atoms occur.

What is Lindlar's catalyst?

Select the correct statements which are re-latedto the influenceof catalystin a revers- ible reaction: Forward reaction takesplace when a catalyst is used in a reversible reaction.

In most of the catalytic processes powdered or spongy metals are used a s catalysts. For example in Haber process, spongy iron is used while in reduction of alkenes finely divided nickel is used as catalyst, Substantiate why?

A graph given below deals with the revers-ible reaction. What change occurs to the equilibrium, when a catalyst is used?

The activation energy of a reaction is 24.0 kcal mol^(-1) at 27^(@)C and the presence of catalyst changes its activation energy to one-fourth at the same temperature. The approximate ratio of rate in the presence of catalyst to rate in the absence of catalyst will be (use R = 2 cal mol^(-1) K^(-1) ).

Addition of a catalyst to a chemical system at equilibrium would result in
