Q. Chloroform, on warming with Ag power, gives

VMMC MedicalVMMC Medical 2004

Solution:

We know that $ \underset{\text{chloroform}}{\mathop{HCC{{l}_{3}}}}\,+6Ag+\underset{\text{chloroform}}{\mathop{C{{l}_{3}}CH}}\,\xrightarrow{\text{heat}} $ $ \underset{(Acetylene)}{\mathop{HC\equiv CH}}\,+6AgCl $ Thus in this reaction acetylene $ (HC\equiv CH) $ is produced.
