It appears that you need help with a chemistry question related to the gas-phase reaction of ethylene (C2H4) with hydrogen (H2) to form ethane (C2H6) in the presence of a palladium catalyst. Let’s tackle this together!
The given reaction is as follows:
C2H4+H2→C2H6
To balance the chemical equation for the reaction between ethylene and hydrogen to form ethane, you need to make sure that the number of each type of atom is the same on both sides of the equation.
The balanced equation is:
C2H4 + H2 -> C2H6
This equation is already balanced as it is written because there are two carbon atoms on both sides, four hydrogen atoms on both sides, and the same number of each element is present.
