Solution
The correct option is C C2 H5 OH
Calcium carbide on Reaction with H2O gives acetylene:
CaC2+H2→C2H2+Ca(OH)2
Addition of H2O or Hydration of Alkyne: Acetylene on reaction with dilute H2SO4 (or 20%H2SO4) in presence of 1%HgSO4 (or mercuric salt or Hg2+ ion at 80∘C or no temperature mentioned) gives acetaldehyde.
The reaction is believed to take place via the formation of a three membered ring involving H2O ion.
Therefore,
