Question

With the help of an example, explain the process of hydrogenation. Mention the essential conditions for the reaction and state the change in physical property with the formation of the product.

Answer

Hydrogenation is a process to obtain saturated hydrocarbons from unsaturated hydrocarbons.
See a common example: The unsaturated hydrocarbon ethene is reduced to ethane. The conditions require pressure (different for different reactions) and catalyst such as Ni, Pd, and Pt .....
The Physical properties might change as follows:

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are mainly insoluble in water but saturated are soluble. Therefore the insoluble becomes soluble.
The boiling point and freezing point changes as accordance to the compounds.
