    When \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}},\,C{{H}_{4}}\] and \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\] passes through a test tube which have ammoniacal \[C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\], find out which gas comes out unaffected from test tube?

    A)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}\] and \[C{{H}_{4}}\]

    B)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}\]and \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\]

    C)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\] and \[C{{H}_{4}}\]

    D)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Copper and silver alkylides are obtained by passing alkynes in the ammoniacal solution of cuprous chloride and silver nitrate respectively. These-reactions are used for detecting the presence of acetylenic hydrogen atom. \[\underset{acetylene}{\mathop{HC\equiv CH}}\,+\underbrace{C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}+2N{{H}_{4}}OH}_{\begin{smallmatrix}  ammoniacal \\  cuprous\text{ }chloride \end{smallmatrix}}\] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  copper\text{ }acetylide \\  (redppt) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Cu\,\,.\,\,C\equiv C\,\,.\,\,Cu\,\downarrow }}\,\,\,\,+2N{{H}_{4}}Cl+2{{H}_{2}}O\] So, alkanes and alkenes remain unaffected.
