The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correctness of the statements provided, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1: Calcium carbide on hydrolysis produces acetylene.** - **Chemical Reaction:** \[ \text{CaC}_2 + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Ca(OH)}_2 + \text{C}_2\text{H}_2 \] - **Analysis:** Calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and acetylene (C2H2). - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 2. **Statement 2: Calcium carbide when heated with N2 at 1100°C forms calcium cyanamide.** - **Chemical Reaction:** \[ \text{CaC}_2 + \text{N}_2 \rightarrow \text{CaNCN} + \text{C} \] - **Analysis:** Calcium carbide reacts with nitrogen at high temperatures to form calcium cyanamide (CaNCN) and carbon (C). - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 3. **Statement 3: Cyanamide ion is isoelectronic with CO2.** - **Analysis of CO2:** - Carbon (C) has 6 electrons, and each oxygen (O) has 8 electrons. - Total electrons in CO2 = 6 (C) + 8 (O) + 8 (O) = 22 electrons. - **Analysis of Cyanamide Ion (N2C2H3^-):** - The cyanamide ion can be represented as N≡C-NH2 or similar structures. - Total electrons = 7 (N) + 6 (C) + 7 (N) + 2 (charge) = 22 electrons. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 4. **Statement 4: Beryllium carbide on hydrolysis forms CH4.** - **Chemical Reaction:** \[ \text{Be}_2\text{C} + 4 \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2 \text{Be(OH)}_2 + \text{CH}_4 \] - **Analysis:** Beryllium carbide reacts with water to produce beryllium hydroxide and methane (CH4). - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion: All four statements are correct. Therefore, the answer is that **all statements (1, 2, 3, and 4) are correct**. ---
