Acetylene reacts with ammonical solution of copper(I)chloride (Cu2Cl2or CuCl) to form red precipitate of copper(I) acetylide

C2H2 + 2CuCl + 2NH4OH → Cu2C2+ 2NH4Cl + H2O

copper(I) acetylide is reacted with HCl to get back acetylene

Cu2C2+ 2HCl → C2H2+ 2CuCl

Ethylene does not react

Thus, ethylene can be separated from acetylene by passing the mixture through ammoonical copper(I)chloride
