    Four gases ethane, ethene, ethyne and propene are passed into a wolf bottle containing ammoniacal \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\] solution. Which gas will come out of wolf bottle?

    A)  Only ethyne

    B)  Ethane and ethyne

    C)  Ethane and ethane

    D)   Ethane, ethene and propene

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Terminal alkynes are precipitated in form of acetylides when they react with\[AgN{{O}_{3}}\]. Alkane and alkene do not react with \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\]. (i)\[\underset{ethane}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}}}\,+AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}No\,\,reaction\] (ii)\[\underset{ethene}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}}}\,+AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}No\,\,reaction\] (iii)\[\underset{propene}{\mathop{{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}}}\,+AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}No\,\,reaction\] (iv)\[\underset{ethyne}{\mathop{HC\equiv CH}}\,+AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}\]\[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  white\,\,ppt.\,\,of\,\,silver \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,acetylide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Ag-C\equiv C-Ag}}\,\] \[\because \]Ethane, ethene and propene do not react with\[AgN{{O}_{3}}\]. \[\therefore \]They come out of wolf bottle.
