Chloroform (CHCl3) --------------> C2H2
For making acetylene (Ethyne) from Chloroform (CHCl3) . We have to Heat it with silver powder and the reaction is like this :
2CHCl3 + 6Ag --------> C2H2 + 6AgCl
Ag (silver powder ) behave as a reducing agent in this reaction . Ag itself oxidised from 0 oxidation state to +1 and reduce the carbon oxidation state from +2 to -1 .
