When chlorine gas (Cl2) reacts with ethyne (C2H2), it undergoes an addition reaction, resulting in the formation of 1,2-dichloroethane (C2H2Cl2). The triple bond in ethyne is broken as chlorine atoms add across the carbon-carbon bond. This reaction typically occurs in the presence of light or heat, facilitating the addition process. Overall, the reaction transforms the alkyne into a more saturated compound.
Oxygen is much more dense than ethyne. This is why a test tube full of ethyne would be held upside down so the ethyne doesnt escape into the air.
The chemical formula of ethyne (acerylene) is C2H2 - two hydrogen atoms.

If the concentration of Cl2 is decreased, the reaction will shift to the left to try to replace the lost Cl2. This means more C2H4 will react with any remaining Cl2 to form more C2H4Cl2 until a new equilibrium is reached with a lower concentration of Cl2.
By combustion ethyne is transformed in carbon dioxide and water.

ethyne (or acetylene) is non polar
The chemical formula of ethyne (acerylene) is C2H2 - two hydrogen atoms.
Yes, ethyne (acetylene) can react with bromine to form 1,2-dibromoethane. This is an addition reaction where the bromine atoms add across the carbon-carbon triple bond in ethyne.
Acetylene (C2H2) is also known as ethyne. It is the simplest alkyne.
The balanced equation for the complete combustion of ethyne (C2H2) is: 2C2H2 + 5O2 -> 4CO2 + 2H2O
Ethyne
ethyne
Ethyne (C2H2) can be converted into ethane (C2H6) by addition of hydrogen gas (H2) in the presence of a suitable catalyst, such as palladium or platinum. This process is known as hydrogenation and involves breaking the triple bond in ethyne and adding hydrogen atoms to form single bonds between carbon atoms in ethane.
Benzene can be prepared from ethyne through a process called electrophilic aromatic substitution. In this process, ethyne reacts with a strong acid catalyst such as concentrated sulfuric acid to form benzene. The high temperature required for this reaction causes the triple bond in ethyne to break and the resulting carbons bond to form a benzene ring.
