Answer

a.

b.

c.

Step by step solution

01

Hydrogenation of Alkenes

Symmetric addition of H2 to the double bond of alkene gives alkane as a product.

Palladium is used as a catalyst in the reaction; it assists in the breaking of π -bond and formation of σ-bond

02

Action of H2 and Pd on alkenes

The double bond is broken, and a hydrogen atom is added on either side of the C=C double bond.

a.

Cleavage of the double bond

b.

Cleavage of the double bond

c.

Cleavage of the double bond
