Identify the major product A and B in the following reaction sequence. [1+1] CaC2 [H2O] A [ammonical AgNO3] B
2Answer
The given reaction sequence involves two steps:
- First step: Reaction of calcium carbide with water Calcium carbide () reacts with water () to form acetylene () and calcium hydroxide (). Here, the major product A is acetylene ().
EthyneEthyne
- Second step: Reaction of acetylene with ammoniacal silver nitrate Acetylene () reacts with ammoniacal silver nitrate ( in ) to form silver acetylide (), which is a white precipitate. Here, the major product B is silver acetylide ().
Thus, the major products are:
- A = Acetylene ()
- B = Silver acetylide ().
