we should react Ethane and ethyne with hydrogen in the presence of catalyst

in ethane case it does not react with hydrogen

in ethyne case it react and form saturated hydro carbon

1 acetic acid (ch3cooh)

2 ch3cooh

3 ester ch3cooc2h5

CoolK12: which catalyst Ni ?
Aman1215: yes
CoolK12: n what about other equations
Aman1215: ohh i forgot it wait a minute
Aman1215: Now see
CoolK12: yeah nowits fine thanks
Aman1215: mine pleasure
CoolK12: bro u told everything right but i m not able to balance the equations so if u can balance them then it would be vert helpfull for me

Hey dear,

● Chemical test to distinguish ethane & ethyne -
Ethane is a saturated compound and don't undergo halogenation reaction, while ethyne being unsaturated compound undergo halogenation reactions.
CH3-CH3 + Br2 --> NO REACTION
CH≡CH + 2Br2 --> CH(Br)2-CH(Br)2

● Solving reactions -
1) Compound A => Formic acid
HCOOH + NaOH --> HCOONa + H2O

2) Compound B => Propionic acid
2CH3CH2COOH + MgCO3 --> (CH3CH2COO)2Mg + H2O + CO2

3) Compound C => Propanol
CH3CH3CH2OH + 2[O] --> CH3CH2COOH + H2O

Hope this was helpful..
