The oil-hardening processes use which type of compounds?(a) Long-chain acids(b) Esters(c) Saturates(d) All of the mentionedThis question was addressed to me in a national level competition.This is a very interesting question from Industrial Processes-II in section Hydrogenation of Unit Processes |
Answer» CORRECT choice is (d) All of the mentioned For explanation I would say: The oil-hardening processes use long-CHAIN acids and esters and saturate only the olefinic linkages in the carbon chain; in the reductions to be described here, the carboxyl group (-COOH) is changed to an alcohol group (-CH20H), and the olefinic bonds in the chain MAYOR may not be REDUCED at the same TIME. |
