MCQ
Acetylene gas when passed through the $20\%$ ${H_2}S{O_4}{\rm{ \,at\, }}\,{80\,^o }C$ gives acetaldehyde. The catalyst required for this conversion is
  • A
    Anhydrous $AlC{l_3}$
  • $HgS{O_4}$
  • C
    $Pd$
  • D
    $Pt$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$HgS{O_4}$
b
(b) $CH \equiv CH + {H_2}O\mathop {\xrightarrow{{40\% \,{H_2}S{O_4}}}}\limits_{1\% \,HgS{O_4}} $  $C{H_2}\mathop {\mathop { = CHOH}\limits_{ \downarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}\limits_{C{H_3}CHO} $
