Treatment with hydrogen (hydrogenation) is the process for converting unsaturated fatty acid into saturated fatty acid. The addition of hydrogen converts the alkenes (from unsaturated fatty acid) into alkenes (saturated fatty acids).

Q. What makes a hydrocarbon saturated?
Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds between carbon atoms. They are called saturated because each carbon atom is bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible. In other words, the carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen.
Q. Which catalyst is used unsaturated hydrocarbons to give saturated hydrocarbons?
3 Addition Reaction Unsaturated hydrocarbons add hydrogen in the presence of catalysts such as palladium or nickel to give saturated hydrocarbons.
Q. What is saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Saturated Hydrocarbons — contain only carbon- carbon single bonds. • Unsaturated Hydrocarbons — contain carbon- carbon double or triple bonds (more hydrogens can be added).
Q. How do you identify an unsaturated hydrocarbon?
The test involves the addition of bromine water to the unknown hydrocarbon; If the bromine water is decolourized by the hydrocarbon, which is due to halogenation reaction, it can then be concluded that the hydrocarbon is unsaturated. If it is not decolourized, then it is saturated.
Q. How can you distinguish between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon?
| Saturated hydrocarbon | Unsaturated hydrocarbon |
|---|---|
| 1. It consists of a single bond between carbon atoms. | Double or triple bond between carbon atoms is present. |
| 2. It bums with a blue flame. | It burns with a sooty flame. |
| 3. Show substitution reaction | Show additional reaction. |
Q. Is ethene saturated?
Ethylene: Ethylene is a chemical compound C2H4 containing a double bond. It is an unsaturated hydrocarbon which can become saturated when an H2 is added. It has a planar molecular shape with a molar mass of 28.05 g/mol.
Q. Is alkane saturated or unsaturated?
1. Alkanes – Are saturated hydrocarbons that therefore contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms bonded to each other, and typically follow the chemical formula CnH2n+2. Alkynes – This category of hydrocarbons are unsaturated, and contain at least one carbon-to-carbon triple bond.
Q. Are Cycloalkanes unsaturated?
Indeed, cycloalkanes are naturally unsaturated, but they are associated with alkanes, which are saturated.
Q. How do you know if a molecule is unsaturated?
In terms of degrees of unsaturation, a molecule only containing single bonds with no rings is considered saturated. Unlike saturated molecules, unsaturated molecules contain double bond(s), triple bond(s) and/or ring(s).
Q. How do you tell if a molecule is saturated?
If all the covalent bonds between the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon molecule are single bonds, C−C, then the hydrocarbon molecule is said to be saturated.
Q. What does saturated mean in Colour?
In color theory, saturation defines a range from pure color (100%) to gray (0%). Saturation is sometimes referred to as color intensity, a fully saturated color is one of pure color while a fully desaturated color appears as grey.
