The hydrogenation Reactions of alkanes at 200°C-300°C temperature, takes place in the presence of
Correct answer: C. Nickel
- A. Platinum
- B. Copper
- C. Nickel
- D. Chromium
Explanation
In the hydrogenation reactions of alkanes at high temperatures, nickel serves as an effective catalyst due to its capability to adsorb hydrogen and facilitate the cleavage of carbon-hydrogen bonds in alkanes. Platinum, copper, and chromium are not as suitable for this specific reaction compared to nickel, hence making them incorrect choices.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
