Question

Chloroform, on warming with Ag powder, gives.

$C_{2}H_{6}$

$C_{3}H_{8}$

$C_{2}H_{4}$

$C_{2}H_{2}$

Answer

$C_{2}H_{2}$

Explanation

Solution

We know that

$\underset{\text{chloroform}}{HCCl_{3}} + 6Ag + \underset{\text{chloroform}}{Cl_{3}CH}\overset{\quad\text{heat}\quad}{\rightarrow}\underset{\text{Acetylene}}{HC \equiv CH} + 6AgCl$

Thus in this reaction acetylene $(HC \equiv CH)$ is produced.
