1.	Two compounds 'A' and 'B' have the molecular formula C_(3)H_(8) and C_(3)H_(6) respectively. Which one of the two is most likely to show addition reactions? Justify your answer. Explain with the help of a chemical equation, how an addition reaction is useful in vegetable ghee industry.
Answer» SOLUTION :A. is SATURATED hydrocarbon PROPANE. <BR. .B. is unsaturated hydrocarbon `CH_(2) = CH -CH_(3)` which will undergo addition reaction. e.g. `CH_(3)=CH-CH_(3)+Br_(2)rightarrowunderset"(1,2 -dibromo-propane)"(CH_(2)Br-CHBr-CH_(3))` `"VEGETABLE oil"+H_(2) rightarrow"Vegetable ghee"`
