    Acetylene is produced by the action of water on :

    A)  \[A{{l}_{4}}{{C}_{3}}\]                                  

    B)  \[ZnB{{r}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}MgCl~\]      

    D)  \[~Ca{{C}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Calcium carbide reacts with water to form ethyne as: \[\underset{\text{Calcium}\,\text{carbide}}{\mathop{Ca{{C}_{2}}}}\,+2{{H}_{2}}O\to Ca{{(OH)}_{2}}+\underset{Acetylene}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}}}\,\] Any metal carbide except \[\text{Ca}{{\text{C}}_{\text{2}}}\]reacts with water to form methane.
