    Ethene and ethyne can be distinguished by the reaction of

    A)  dil. alkaline \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]

    B)  \[{{I}_{2}}\]and\[NaOH\]

    C)  ammoniacal \[C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\]

    D)  anhydrous\[ZnC{{l}_{2}}+\]cone.\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Ethyne gives red precipitate of\[CuC\equiv CCu\]on reaction with ammoniacal\[C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\]but ethane does not react with ammoniacal\[C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\]. \[CH\equiv CH+C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\] (ammoniacal) \[\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\] \[\underset{red\text{ }ppt}{\mathop{CuC\equiv CCu+2HCl}}\,\]
