Question

what happens when chloroform is heated with silver powder?

Answer 1

Acetylene (ethyne) will be produced by reduction of chloroform by silver.

2CHCl3 + 6Ag = C2H2 + 6AgCl

The other product would be silver chloride.

Answer 2

The reaction between Chloroform and silver powder leads to the formation of Acetylene and silver chloride.

Explanation:

• In the given word equation of the reactants, the compound involved as reactants are as follows:

1. Chloroform - $CHCl_3$
2. Silver powder - Ag

• When chloroform is heated with silver powder, double displacement reaction occurs.
• Due to it, two products namely Acetylene ($C_2H_2$) and silver chloride (AgCl) are formed.
• The chemical equation involved in the reaction are as follows:

$2CHCl_3+6Ag\stackrel{\Delta}{\rightarrow}C_2H_2+6AgCl$
