Sec Sch C22 Alkanes and Alkenes

The industrial importance of the hydrogenation process dates from 1897, when the French chemist Paul Sabatier discovered that the introduction of a trace of nickel as a catalyst facilitated the addition of hydrogen to molecules of carbon compounds. Addition reactions are typical of unsaturated organic compounds—i.e., alkenes, which contain a carbon-to-carbon double bond. Despite its importance, hydrogenation, which is the main feature of chapter 22 is again another challenging topic to understand. With this course students will be slowly guided through the numerous uses of hydrogenation as well as the various processes involved in it allowing them to master the chapter through applications and conjunctive uses with courses like Periodic Trends, Mole Concept and Chemical Calculations
