Conversion of Calcium Carbide into Hexachloroethane

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To convert calcium carbide (CaC₂) into hexachloroethane (C₂Cl₆), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Conversion of Calcium Carbide to Acetylene - **Reaction**: CaC₂ + 2 H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂ - **Explanation**: Calcium carbide reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide and acetylene gas (C₂H₂). ### Step 2: Hydrogenation of Acetylene to Ethane - **Reaction**: C₂H₂ + 2 H₂ (in the presence of Ni) → C₂H₆ ...
