The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the behavior of the given gases (methane, ethylene, and ethyne) when passed through a Woulfe's bottle containing ammonical AgNO3 (ammonium silver nitrate). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Gases**: - Methane (CH₄) - an alkane - Ethylene (C₂H₄) - an alkene - Ethyne (C₂H₂) - an alkyne 2. **Understand the Reaction with Ammonical AgNO3**: - Ammonical AgNO3 is known to react with alkynes (like ethyne) to form a white precipitate of silver acetylide (AgC≡C) and ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃). - Alkenes (like ethylene) and alkanes (like methane) do not react with ammonical AgNO3. 3. **Determine the Reaction Products**: - For ethyne (C₂H₂): \[ \text{C₂H₂} + \text{AgNO₃ (ammonical)} \rightarrow \text{AgC≡C} + \text{NH₄NO₃} \] - This reaction produces a solid precipitate (AgC≡C), which will not escape from the bottle. 4. **Analyze Each Gas**: - **Methane (CH₄)**: No reaction with ammonical AgNO3; it will pass through the bottle unreacted. - **Ethylene (C₂H₄)**: No reaction with ammonical AgNO3; it will also pass through the bottle unreacted. - **Ethyne (C₂H₂)**: Reacts with ammonical AgNO3, forming a precipitate that will remain in the bottle. 5. **Conclusion**: - The gas that does not come out of the bottle is the one that reacts and forms a precipitate. Since ethyne reacts and forms a solid, it is the gas that does not come out. - Therefore, the correct answer is **ethyne (C₂H₂)**. ### Final Answer: The gas not coming out from the bottle is **ethyne (C₂H₂)**.
