A compound X formed after heating coke with lime reacts with water to give Y which on passing over red-hot iron at 873K produces Z. The compound Z is
When coke is heated with lime (CaO), then CaC2(X) is formed which then reacts with water to form acetylene (Y) as a major product. This acetylene on passing over red hot iron at 873K produces benzene (Z).
