Solution

Ethyne gives addition reaction with Hydrogen $(H)$ and Halogens.
Reaction:
The chemical reaction of Ethyne with Chlorine $({Cl}_{2})$ in the absence of light.
$H - C \equiv C - H + {Cl}_{2} \to ClCH = CHCl Ethyne Chlorine 1, 2 - Dichloroethane ClCH = CHCl + {Cl}_{2} \to {Cl}_{2} CH - {CHCl}_{2} 1, 2 - Dichloroethane Chlorine 1, 1, 2, 2 - Tetrachloroethane$
