For the complete reduction of 1 mole of 3E,5E.-hepta-1,3,5-triene with H₂ using a Pd catalyst, how many moles of H₂ are consumed? A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4 E) 5

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecule 3E,5E-hepta-1,3,5-triene has three double bonds. The complete reduction of each double bond requires 1 mole of H₂ (or its equivalent, here represented as H₂ for simplicity). Therefore, to fully reduce all three double bonds, 3 moles of the reducing agent are needed.
