    . Which alkaline earth metal carbide reacts with water to give propyne gas and methane gas respectively?

    A) \[Be,\text{ }Mg\]              

    B) \[Ca,\text{ }Be\]               

    C) \[Ba,\text{ }Be\]              

    D)               \[Mg,\text{ }Be\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] (1) Carbide of \[Be\]e and \[Al\] with \[{{H}_{2}}O\] gives \[C{{H}_{4}}\]gas.
    (i) \[B{{e}_{2}}C+4{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}2Be{{(OH)}_{2}}+C{{H}_{4}}\uparrow \]
    (ii) \[A{{l}_{4}}{{C}_{3}}+12{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow[{}]{}4Al\,{{(OH)}_{3}}+3C{{H}_{4}}\uparrow \]
    (2) Carbides of \[Mg\] with \[{{H}_{2}}O\] gives propyne gas
    \[M{{g}_{2}}{{C}_{3}}+4{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}2Mg{{(OH)}_{2}}+\underset{\Pr opyne}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C\equiv CH}}\,\]
    (3) Carbides of \[Ca,\text{ }Sr,\text{ }Ba\]with \[{{H}_{2}}O\] gives acetylene \[(CH\equiv CH)\] gas.
    \[Ca{{C}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}Ca{{(OH)}_{2}}+CH\equiv CH.\]
