What reagents might be used to convert cis-2-butene into trans-2-butene?

To convert cis-2-butene into trans-2-butene, a reagent like a catalytic metal such as palladium on carbon (Pd/C) or a chemical like hydrogen gas (H2) can be used in a process called hydrogenation. This reaction helps to change the arrangement of the double bond in the molecule from a cis configuration to a trans configuration.
