Calcium carbide $+\mathrm{D}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \underline{X}+\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OD})_2$. The hybridisation of carbon atom(s) in $X$
  1. $s p^2$
  2. $s p$
  3. $s p^3$
  4. $d s p^2$

Solution

$\mathrm{CaC}_2+2 \mathrm{D}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \underset{\substack{\text { Deutero } \\ \text { acetylene }}}{\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{D}_2}+\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OD})_2$ The hybridisation of carbon atoms in deutero acetylene is $s p$. $\mathrm{D}-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{D}$
