Answer to Question #216391 in Organic Chemistry for Gaurav

Question

addition of water to the alkene is faster in

Answer 1

Stability of alkene is inversely proportional to the heat of hydrogenation of alkene.

Catalytic hydrogenation takes place in 3

compound.The energy required to break the double bond is lesser in 3^rd compound than any other compound.

Greater the number of alkyl groups attached to the doubly bonded carbon atoms, more stable is the alkene. (less reactive)
