    Which of the following reagents is used to distinguish ethene from ethyne?

    A)  bromine in \[CC{{l}_{4}}\]

    B)  ammonical \[C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\]

    C)  bromine water

    D)  alkaline \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Ethyne reacts with ammonical cuprous chloride solution to produce red colour \[\underset{\text{Ethyne}}{\overset{CH}{\mathop{|||}}}\,+2Cu(N{{H}_{3}}){{2}^{+}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{Cuprous}\,\text{acetlide}\,\text{(Red}\ \text{ppt}\text{.)} \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\underset{C.Cu}{\overset{C.Cu}{\mathop{|||}}}\,}}\,\] \[+\,2NH_{4}^{+}+2N{{H}_{3}}\] Ethene does not react with ammonical \[\text{C}{{\text{u}}_{\text{2}}}\text{C}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}\text{.}\]
