Question

The number of moles of Ag metal to be reacted with CHCl3 to get 1 mole of C2H2 is

Answer 1

Answer:

Chloroform (CHCl3) --------------> C2H2

2CHCl3 + 6Ag --------> C2H2 + 6AgCl

Answer 2

Answer:

The chemical substance having the formula C₂H₂ is acetylene, also known by its IUPAC name, ethyne. It is the simplest alkyne and a hydrocarbon.

When two reactant chemicals exchange positive ions with one another to generate new compounds, this process is known as a double displacement reaction.

Explanation:

The double displacement reaction is occurring here, which will displace the atoms in the reaction vessel and generate new compounds.

CHCl₃ is known as chloroform.

Ag is known as silver.

C₂H₂ is known as acetylene or ethyne. It is an alkyne.

The reaction for the formation of acetylene from chloroform on treatment with silver metal is as follows below:

                      2CHCl₃ + 6Ag → C₂H₂ + 6AgCl

Hence the number of moles of silver metal to be reacted with chloroform to get one mole of Acetylene is 6.

The correct answer is 6.
