    Which one of the following gives a red precipitate with ammoniacal solution of cuprous chloride?

    A) \[{{H}_{3}}CC{{H}_{3}}\]    

    B)        \[{{H}_{2}}C==C{{H}_{2}}\]

    C) \[HC\equiv CH\]     

    D)        \[{{H}_{3}}CC=C{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]

    E) \[{{H}_{5}}{{C}_{6}}C\equiv CC{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Alternate (c) i.e.,\[HC\equiv CH\]gives red precipitate with ammoniacal solution of cuprous chloride as follows \[HC\equiv CH+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  ammonium \\  cuprous  \\  chloride \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}}}\,+2N{{H}_{4}}OH\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  copper\text{ }acetylide \\  (red\text{ }ppt.) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CuC\equiv CCu\downarrow }}\,+2N{{H}_{4}}Cl+2{{H}_{2}}O\]
