Question

why is acetylene more acidic than Ethane​

Answer 1

Ethyne is more acidic than ethane because

a)ethane has a single bond between the carbons whereas etyne has a triple bond between the carbons which increases bond polarity between C-H in ethyne and the hydrogen can easily be released when compared in ethane.

b) in ethyne the C is SP hybridised whereas in ethane carbon is SP3 hybridised and as the percentage of s orbital increases electonegative character increases and hence hydrogen can easily be released in ethyne

Answer 2

Hey mate here is your answer

Acetylene will be more acidic as compared to ethane carbon in acetylene is sp hybridized i.e. there is 50 % character in carbon. so, acetylene is more acidic than ethane.

I hope my answer help you
