  • Calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with water to give Ethyne (C2H2) or Acetylene gas and Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 as the products.
  • This method is used to prepare Acetylene from Calcium carbide.
  • Acetylene is basically a colorless gas.
  • The chemical reaction is as follows:

CaC2(s)Calciumcarbide+2H2O(l)WaterCa(OH)2(l)Calciumhydroxide+C2H2(g)Acetylene
