Which outcome primarily results when palladium catalysts facilitate hydrogenation?

💡 Explanation

Hydrogenation proceeds on catalysts by chemisorption. Alkene double bonds are reduced because dissociative chemisorption increases the hydrogen concentration and lowers the reaction barrier, therefore alkanes form, rather than decomposition products observed without adsorbed hydrogen.
