Solution

The reaction between Calcium Carbide and water:
Calcium carbide $({CaC}_{2})$ reacts with Water ( $H_{2} O$ ) and forms Ethyne $(C_{2} H_{2})$ or Acetylene gas and Calcium hydroxide $(Ca {(OH)}_{2})$ as products.
Acetylene is basically a colorless gas.
Chemical Reaction is as follows:
$\underset{C a l c i u m c a r b i d e}{C a C_{2} (s)} + \underset{W a t e r}{2 H_{2} O (l)} \to \underset{C a l c i u m h y d r o x i d e}{C a {(O H)}_{2} (a q)} + \underset{A c e t y l e n e g a s}{C_{2} H_{2} (g)}$
