MCQ
A mixture of methane, ethylene and acetylene gases is passed through a Wolf's bottle containing ammoniacal cuprous chloride. The gas coming out is
  • A
    Methane
  • B
    Acetylene
  • A mixture of methane and ethylene
  • D
    The original mixture

Answer

Correct option: C.
A mixture of methane and ethylene
c
(c) Acetylene reacts with ammonical cuprous chloride to form red ppt. of copper acetylide while methane and ethylene do not react (since they do not have acidic hydrogen) They come out from the bottle

$CH \equiv CH + 2\,[Cu{(N{H_3})_2}]OH \to $

$Cu - C \equiv C - Cu + 4N{H_3} + 2{H_2}O$

$C{H_4} + \,{\rm{Ammonical}}\,\,C{u_2}C{l_2} \to {\rm{No}}\,\,{\rm{reaction}}$

${C_2}{H_4} + \,{\rm{Ammonical}}\,\,C{u_2}C{l_2} \to {\rm{No}}\,\,{\rm{reaction}}$
