Vedclass · Answer

(C) The hydrolysis of carbides depends on the nature of the bond between the metal/non-metal and carbon. $Al_4C_3$ reacts with water to produce methane $(CH_4)$. $Mg_2C_3$ reacts with water to produce propyne $(CH_3C \equiv CH)$. $CaC_2$ reacts with water to produce ethyne $(HC \equiv CH)$. $SiC$ (Silicon carbide or Carborundum) is a covalent network solid with a very stable structure. Due to its extremely high lattice energy and covalent nature,it is chemically inert and does not undergo hydrolysis with water.
