Write the reaction equation: CaC2-C2H2-CH3COH-CH3CH2OH

CaC2 -> C2H2 -> CH3COH -> CH3CH2OH.

1) The reaction of dissolution of calcium carbide in water with the formation of calcium hydroxide and acetylene (gas):

CaC2 + 2H2O = Ca (OH) 2 + C2H2 (The reaction of obtaining acetylene under laboratory conditions).

2) Reaction of acetylene hydration (Kucherov reaction), in the presence of mercury salts with the formation of ethanal:

C2H2 + H2O = CH3COH.

Reaction condition: mercury salts Hg + (indicated above the equality between the right and left side of the reaction).

3) Reaction of ethanal hydrogenation to ethanol:

CH3COH + H2 = CH3CH2OH.
