  1. Ethene

  2. Ethyne

  3. Ethane

  4. Methane
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Kolbe's electrolysis of sodium fumarate (a salt of an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid) results in the formation of ethyne (acetylene) due to the elimination of CO2 and formation of a triple bond.

  3. Butane

  4. Ethyne

  5. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Electrolysis of the potassium salts of fumaric or maleic acid (unsaturated dicarboxylic acids) yields ethyne via Kolbe's electrolysis.

Multiple choice chemistry hydrocarbons introduction to alkenes - ethyne acetylene alkynes

A mixture of oxygen and ethyne is burnt for welding. Why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used?

  1. ethene can not burn in air

  2. incomplete combustion takes place

  3. ethene burn in air with explosion

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

When ethyne is burnt in air incomplete burning takes place and produce sooty flame due to limited supply oxygen present in the air.


 However, if ethyne is burnt in oxygen, it gives a clean flame with high temperature (3000°C ) due to complete combustion of ethyne.

 Hence, This oxy-acetylene flame is used for welding and it is not possible to attain such a high temperature with air. Due this reason a mixture of ethyne and air is not used for welding.

Acetylene may be prepared using Kolbes electrolytic method employing:

  1. Pot. acetate

  2. Pot. succinate

  3. Pot. fumarate

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Acetylene may be prepared using Kolbes electrolytic method employing potassium fumerate. Acetylene is obtained at anode. The solution is basic due to formation of KOH at cathode.

Multiple choice chemistry hydrocarbons introduction to alkenes - ethyne acetylene alkynes

$C _{2}H _{2}$ on reaction with Na followed by reaction with $C _{2}H _{5}I$ gives 'X'. The molecular formula of 'X' is:

  1. $C _{2}H _{6}$
  2. $C _{4}H _{8}$
  3. $C _{4}H _{6}$
  4. $C _{3}H _{6}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Reaction: $CH \equiv CH \xrightarrow{Na} Na - C \equiv  CH \xrightarrow{C _2H _5I} C _2H _5 - C \equiv  CH + NaI$


Hence, the correct option is $C$
