Oleic acid belongs to class of alkene and in alkenes, addition of H-H across C=C that is carbon carbon double bond results in the formation of alkane as a product in the presence of specific catalyst such as nickel, palladium and platinum.  The reaction is said to be hydrogenation reaction.

Oleic acid (C_{17}H_{33}COOH) consist of 17 carbon atoms attached to 33 hydrogen atoms with one double bond between two carbon atoms and one carboxylic group i.e.(-COOH). When oleic acid is hydrogenated or reacts with hydrogen in the presence of catalyst, then the carbon carbon double breaks by the addition H-H and alkane product i.e. stearic acid  (C_{17}H_{35}COOH) is formed.

The chemical reaction is shown in the image.

Why must living things rely on thousands of catalysts for chemical reactions necessary for life?
Murrr4er [49]
Well, you don't need enzymes (biological catalysts) if you're willing to wait a century or two to digest a burger.

Without catalysts, complex reactions like digestion would take too long and the organism could not extract energy from the nutrients it eats in a practical time frame.

In addition, speed is everything in the biological world.

Some reactions and their speed relative to other organisms reactions determines who survives and who doesn't, among other aspects of life.

If a plant is slow to photosynthesize and grow in a habitat high in competition for sunlight real estate, other autotrophs will surely take over.
