The Alkynes: CnH2n - 2 Ethyne: C2H2 Carbon-Carbon triple bond 2 Carbons Longest Chain H C C H 2 planar carbons
Mandatory Experiment Preparation of Ethyne
Preparation of Ethyne Calcium Dicarbide CaC2 Water H2O Acidified Copper Sulfate Solution CuSO4 Water added to calcium dicarbide produces ethyne gas with impurities. These impurities are removed by passing them through acidified copper sulfate solution.
Impurities Calcium sulfide solid Hydrogen sulfide gas Phosphine gas Calcium phosphide solid Calcium dicarbide
Preparation of Ethyne The first couple of test tubes collected are usually discarded as they contain displaced air from the reaction boiling tube.
Preparation of Ethyne Balanced Equation for the Synthesis of Ethyne CaC2 + H2O 2 C2H2 + Ca(OH)2 Water Ethyne Calcium Dicarbide Calcium Hydroxide
Ethyne reaction with acidified potassium permanganate When ethyne gas is bubbled through a solution of acidified potassium permanganate solution a colour change from pink to colourless is observed. This proves that ethyne is an unsaturated compound.
Ethyne reaction with bromine water When ethyne gas is bubbled through a solution of bromine water, colour change from yellow to colourless is observed. This proves that ethyne is an unsaturated compound.
