Addition of H_(2) to accetylene gives ethane in presence of palladium but if BaSO_(4) and quinoline or sulphur are also added, the product is ethane. Why ?

Answer»

Solution :`CH-=CH+H_(2)overset(Pd)tounderset("Ethene")(CH_(2)=CH_(2))overset(""^(+)H_(2))UNDERSET(Pd)tounderset("Ethane")(CH_(3)-CH_(3))`
`CH-=CH+H_(2)overset(Pd+BaSO _(4))underset(+"quinoline/S")tounderset("Ethene")(CH_(2)=CH_(2))`
`BaSO_(4)+` quinoline/S posion the catalyst. Hence th efficiency of the catalyst decreases and the reaction stops at the first stagte of REDUCTION.
