Answer 2

Explanation :

When iodoform is heated with silver powder, both react to give acetylene or ethyne and silver chloride as a product. Silver is a reducing agent that reduces the chloroform into ethyne.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

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

By the stoichiometry, 2 moles of chloroform react with 6 moles of silver powder to give 1 mole of acetylene and 6 moles of silver chloride as a product.
