The main uses of Ethene (common name ethylene) and propene (common name propylene) is in the synthesis of polyethylene and polypropylene. They are also used in the synthesis of other chemicals. Propene is used to make epoxy resins for example. Butane and pentane are used as fuels and also in chemical synthesis.

What is the reaction to convert propene into propane?

To convert propene into propane, a hydrogenation reaction is used. This process involves adding hydrogen (H₂) to propene (C₃H₆) in the presence of a catalyst, such as nickel, palladium, or platinum, under appropriate temperature and pressure conditions. The reaction reduces the double bond in propene, resulting in the formation of propane (C₃H₈).

How is propene obtained from crude oil?

Propene is obtained from crude oil through a process called steam cracking, where long-chain hydrocarbons in crude oil are broken down into smaller molecules such as propene. This process involves heating the crude oil to high temperatures in the presence of steam, which causes the hydrocarbons to undergo thermal decomposition and form propene along with other byproducts.
