Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -But-2-ene (2-butene), CH3CH=CHCH3, is an alkene, an unsaturated hydrocarbon. It will react with hydrogen gas, H2(g), in the presence of a palladium catalyst (Pd). The product of this hydrogenation reaction is also butane, CH3CH2CH2CH3, which is an alkane, a saturated hydrocarbon.
Detailed explanation-2: -Alkene + water (steam) → alcohol.
