Question

A mixture of CH4, C2H4 and C2H2 gases are passed through a Wolf bottle containing ammoniacal cuprous chloride. The gas coming out is (A) Methane (B) Acetylene (C) Mixture of methane and ethylene (D) Original mixture

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

C2H2 reacts with ammoniacal cuprous chloride due to acidic nature of acetylene. So the gas coming out is mixture of methane and ethylene

Q. A mixture of $C H_{4}, C_{2} H_{4}$ and $C_{2} H_{2}$ gases are passed through a Wolf bottle containing ammoniacal cuprous chloride. The gas coming out is

Methane

Acetylene

Mixture of methane and ethylene

Original mixture

$C_{2} H_{2}$ reacts with ammoniacal cuprous chloride due to acidic nature of acetylene.
So the gas coming out is mixture of methane and ethylene
