Solution

The correct options are
A CaC2 is formed by reacting CaO with coke in presence of heat.
C Ethyne can be prepared from CaC2 by reacting it with H2O in presence of heat
D Vicinal dihalides on treatmentwith alcoholic KOH undergo dehydrohalogenation.
Preperation of CaC2 :
CaCO3ΔCaO+CO2
CaO+3CCokeΔCaC2+CO

Industrial method of preperation of ethyne :
CaC2+2H2OΔCa(OH)2+C2H2Ethyne

Preperation of alkynes from vicinal dihalides :
Vicinal dihalides on treatment with alcoholic KOH undergo dehydrohalogenation. One molecule of HX is eliminated to form alkenyl halide which on treatment with sodamide gives alkyne.
