Which of the following hydrocarbons cannot be obtained by Sabatier and Senderen's reaction.

A

CH4CH_{4}

B

C2H6C_{2}H_{6}

C

C3H8C_{3}H_{8}

D

All

Answer

CH4CH_{4}

Explanation

Solution

Methane can not be obtained by Sabatier and Sendern’s reaction because in this the product obtained contain minimum two carbon atoms.

CH2=CH2+H2→NiCH3−CH3CH_{2} = CH_{2} + H_{2}\overset{\quad Ni\quad}{\rightarrow}CH_{3} - CH_{3}

CH≡CH+2H2→NiCH3−CH3CH \equiv CH + 2H_{2}\overset{\quad Ni\quad}{\rightarrow}CH_{3} - CH_{3}
