Write down the reaction equation for the dehydrogenation of propane C3H8 and butane C4H10 and name the products.

In this task, you will need to write down the chemical equation for the dehydrogenation of propane and butane.

CH3 – CH2 – CH3 -> CH3 – CH = CH2 + H2.

This reaction is called a dehydrogenation reaction. It takes place at a temperature and under a catalyst such as zinc or nickel. The dehydrogenation of propane produces a compound called propene-1.

CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – CH3 -> CH3 – CH2 – CH = CH2 + H2.

This reaction is called a dehydrogenation reaction. It takes place at a temperature and under a catalyst such as zinc or nickel. The dehydrogenation of butane forms a compound called butene-1.
