A mixture of 1-heptyne, 2-heptyne, and 3-heptyne was hydrogenated in the presence of a palladium catalyst until hydrogen uptake ceased. How many seven-carbon hydrocarbons were produced

four

Explanation:

Recall that the hydrogenation of 1-heptyne, 2-heptyne, and 3-heptyne  is an addition reaction. The hydrogen is added across the triple bond in the presence of palladium serving as the catalyst.

Note that 1-heptyne and 2-heptyne do not exist as geometric isomers hence they yield one corresponding hydrocarbon each. However, 3-heptyne exhibits geometric isomerism. As a result of this, 3-heptyne yields cis and trans products making a total of four seven-carbon hydrocarbons produced.

you did not give any options thus this is the best answer i can give to you with this little information you have given

> they are both natural and not man made

> they can be tracked and predicted by the right tools
