Elimination of HX from Haloalkanes

One way to synthesize alkenes is to remove hydrogen halide (HX) from a haloalkane (alkyl halide) in an elimination reaction.

Hydrogenation of Alkenes

How can you convert an unsaturated hydrocarbon such as an alkene, into a saturated hydrocarbon (an alkane)?
With the magic of chemistry (a catalyst), you can add hydrogen across the double bond in an alkene!
AUS-e-TUTE has just added new resources to help our members understand this, and to practice answering test questions. Members should log-in to use these new resources.
