Equations for determining the ratio of hydrogenation rates for linolenate and linoleate acyl groups are derived from kinetic theory. They are based upon the analysis for linolenate after absorption of 0.5 mole of hydrogen by an equal mixture of linoleate and linolenate. This method finds routine application in the evaluation of hydrogenation catalysts for selectivity.
