How many different alkenes can be hydrogenated to form hexane?
Hexane can be produced by hydrogenating three distinct alkenes.
Starting with a 6-carbon alkene, you work your way up to a 6-carbon alkane.
The options include:
hex-1-ene, hex-2-ene, hex-3-ene, hex-1-ene, CH₵CH₃CH₃CH₃CH=CH₃, and CH₵CH₃CH₃CH=CHCH₃
Any of these can be reacted with a catalyst made of nickel and hydrogen.
The formulas are
A= CH₂ + H₂ → CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃CH₃
CH₃CH₂CH₂CH = CHCH₃ + H₂ → CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃ + H₂
H₂ + CH₃CH₂CH₃ = CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃
Additionally, alkadienes and -trienes with multiple double bonds exist. Here's one example:
In hexadecimal notation, CH₃CHₖCH=CH₃CH=CH₂

Hexane is formed by hydrogenating different alkenes. Specifically, three unique alkenes can undergo hydrogenation to produce hexane. These are:
- 1-Hexene
- cis-2-Hexene
- trans-2-Hexene

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
