    Ethylene can be separated from acetylene by passing the mixture through

    A)  fuming \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    B)  pyrogallol

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

    D)  charcoal powder

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     \[CH\equiv CH+C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}(ammoniacal)\to \underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{copper}\,\text{acetylide} \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{(red}\,\text{ppt)} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CuC\equiv CCu}}\,\]\[C{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}}+C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}(ammoniacal)\xrightarrow{{}}\]                                     \[\times \,(no\,reaction)\] \[\therefore \] Ammoniacal \[\text{C}{{\text{u}}_{\text{2}}}\text{C}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}\]is used to separate ethylene from acetylene.
