Hydrogenation of vegetable oils produces
AGlucose from sugar at high heat
BHardened fats like vanaspati ghee
CSoft soap from caustic potash
DAmmonium salts from ammonia
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Hardened fats like vanaspati ghee
1. The chapter notes catalytic hydrogenation as a use of H2.
2. Liquid vegetable oils add H2 across their double bonds.
3. The product is a solid (saturated) fat such as vanaspati ghee.
4. So option A is correct.
