Question

What happens when aluminium carbide is treated with cold water ?

Answer 1

ALUMINIUM CARBIDE REACTS WITH WATER :-

Al4C3 + 12H2O → 4Al(OH)3 + 3CH4

Hy­drol­y­sis is a re­ac­tion that takes place be­tween a sub­stance and wa­ter, as a re­sult of which the sub­stance and wa­ter break down, and new com­pounds form. Al3C4 is a salt-like car­bide, which is es­sen­tial­ly the prod­uct of the dis­place­ment of the hy­dro­gen atom in meth­ane by met­al atoms. So in its hy­drol­y­sis, re­verse dis­place­ment takes place eas­i­ly, and meth­ane forms.

Answer 2

When alminium carbide is treated with cold water then alminium hydroxide and methane gas produce
