Students should:
$understand the addition reactions of alkenes with: i hydrogen, in the presence of a nickel catalyst, to form an alkane Knowledge of the application of this reaction to the manufacture of margarine by catalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated vegetable oils is expected . ii halogens to produce dihalogenoalkanes iii hydrogen halides to produce halogenoalkanes iv steam, in the presence of an acid catalyst, to produce alcohols v potassium manganate(VII), in acid conditions, to oxidise the double bond and produce a diol$
