How do you convert methane to acetylene?

Answer 1

2-chloropropane to 2,3-dimethyl butane

Answer 2

1] Acetylene combines directly with water in the presence of Mercury(II) salts to give ethanal [acetaldehyde as you are still using old names]
CH.CH + H2O ---- Hg2+ catalyst ---> CH3CHO
2] This is readily oxidised to ethanoic acid [acetic acid] using acid dichromate
CH3HO + 'O' -------> CH3OOH
3] Neutralise with NaOH and evaporate to dryness to heat gently to get anhydrous sodium acetate
CH3COOH + NaOH -----> CH3COONa + H2O
4] heat with soda lime to get methane
CH3COONa + NaOH ---> CH4 + Na2CO3

Answer 4

this is not possible yet..scientists have discovered an enzyme that can convert ethane to methane..however, if u take indirect route ..then its possible..

Answer 5

This is a dehydrating reaction. You can use c.H2SO4.
