Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Acetylene does not react with NaOH because the product will be stronger acid $H_2O$ and the stronger basic salt $(CH≡CNa^+)$Formation of a strong acid is not possible in acid-base neutralisation reaction of a weak acid. Hence, acetylene will not react with NaOH.
