Acetylene is said to be acidic ? Does it mean that it turns blue litmus red ? |
| Answer» Solution : In organic chemistry, the TERM acidity is used in a wider SENSE. It implies that a particular hydrogen can be abstracted by a base which may be a very weak or a very strong base. ACETYLENE is a weak ACID EVEN weaker than `H_2O` and hence it does not turn blue litmus red. | |
