← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when ethylene gas undergoes catalytic hydrogenation?
A)Increased alkane production for plastics✓
B)Formation metallic carbon materials
C)Enhanced gas reactivity declines acutely
D)Selective polymer scission accelerates suddenly
💡 Explanation
Hydrogenation of ethylene produces ethane due to the saturation of the carbon-carbon double bond via **addition reaction**. This reaction increases alkane production, therefore polymers get larger rather than becoming reactive catalysts or experiencing scission because the double bonds are removed.
