Question

Convert -. CH4 to C2H2

Answer 1

It means that c double bond 2hs so when it undergoes addition reaction double bond breaks

Answer 2

Answer: The conversion is given below.

Explanation:

To convert methane into ethyne, we follow some steps:

Step 1: We first convert methane into chloro-methane by a process of direct halogenation in the presence of light.

Step 2: Converting chloro-methane to ethane by a named reaction called Wurtz reaction in which sodium metal in the presence of dry ether will yield ethane.

Step 3: Now, doing dehydrogenation of ethane formed at high temperature, will yield ethyne as a final product.

The above reactions are given below in the image attached.
