Further information about equation C₂H₂ + 2H₂O → C₂H₄(OH)₂

What is reaction condition of C2H2 (acetylene) reacts with H2O (water) ?

Temperature: 80°C Solvent: HgSO4.H2SO4

Explanation: The ideal environmental conditions for a reaction, such as temperature, pressure, catalysts, and solvent. Catalysts are substances that speed up the pace (velocity) of a chemical reaction without being consumed or becoming part of the end product. Catalysts have no effect on equilibrium situations.

How reactions can happened and produce C2H4(OH)2 (Glycol; 1,2-Ethanediol; Ethylene glycol; sym-Dioxyethane; NCI-C-00920; Ucar-17; Norkool; Dowtherm SR-1; Tescol; 1,2-Dihydroxyethane; Macrogol 400BPC; Zerex; Fridex; Ramp; 2-Hydroxyethanol; 2-Hydroxyethyl alcohol; Ethane-1,2-diol) ?

Add acetylene gas into a test-tube containing distilled water. Carry out the experiment under appropriate conditions.

In a full sentence, you can also say C2H2 (acetylene) reacts with H2O (water) and produce C2H4(OH)2 (Glycol; 1,2-Ethanediol; Ethylene glycol; sym-Dioxyethane; NCI-C-00920; Ucar-17; Norkool; Dowtherm SR-1; Tescol; 1,2-Dihydroxyethane; Macrogol 400BPC; Zerex; Fridex; Ramp; 2-Hydroxyethanol; 2-Hydroxyethyl alcohol; Ethane-1,2-diol)

What are other important informations you should know about reaction

In the presence of HgSO4 catalyst in the sulfuric acid medium, the H2O add into the triple bond creates an unstable intermediate compound and produces aldehydes or ketones. The addition reaction of HX, H2O to the alkynes in the homologous series of acetylene also obey the same Markovnikov rule as alkene.
