Q. Alkenes combine with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in presence of octacarbonyldicobalt as catalyst under high temperature and pressure to form

Hydrogen

Solution:

$R - CH = CH_2 + H_2 + CO \rightarrow \underset{\text{(aldehyde)}}{RCH_2CH_2HO} \xrightarrow{H_2} \underset{\text{(alcohol)}}{RCH_2CH_2CH_2OH}$
