Give reaction of ethyne with water |
|
Answer» Answer: Ethane (CHCH), being just an alkane, will not REACT with the water or the acid, as ethane has no REACTIVE sites. However, ETHENE (a.k.a. ethylene) (CH=CH), having an electrophilic double bond, will react with water in the presence of an acid catalyst to form ethanol (if I'm not mistaken). |
