Q. Chloroform, on warming with $Ag$ powder gives
A) $C_{2}H_{6}$
B) $C_{2}H_{6}$
C) $C_{2}H_{4}$
D) $C_{2}H_{2}$
Explanation
(d)
$HCCl_{3} + 6Ag + Cl_{3}CH\overset{Heat}{\rightarrow}HC \equiv CH + 6AgCl$
Chloroform choloroform acetylene
Thus, in this reaction acetylene $(HC \equiv CH)$ is produced.
