Which of the following pairs of chemical reactions are inverses of each other? Answer options: a. Hydrogenation and alkylation b. Halogenation and hydrolysis c. Ammoniation and alkylation d. Oxidation and reduction

d. Oxidation and reduction

Explanation:

For this question we have to remember the definition of each type of reaction:

-) Hydrogenation

In this reaction, we have the addition of hydrogen to a molecule. Usually, an alkene or alkyne. In the example, molecular hydrogen is added to a double bond to produce an alkane.

-) Alkylation

In this reaction, we have the addition of a chain of carbon to another molecule. In the example, an ethyl group is added to a benzene ring.

-) Hydrolysis

In this reaction, we have the breaking of a bond by the action of water. In the example, a water molecule can break the C-O bond in the ester molecule.

-) Halogenation

In this reaction, we have the addition of a halogen (atoms on the VIIIA group). In the example, "Cl" is added to the butene.

-) Ammoniation

In this reaction, we have the addition of the ammonium ion (). In the example, the ammonium ion is added to an acid.

-) Oxidation and reduction

In this reaction, we have opposite reactions. The oxidation is the loss of electrons and the reduction is the gain of electrons. For example:

Reduction

Oxidation
