Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formation of acetylene by the reaction of calcium carbide with water is to be shown using curved arrows.

Concept introduction:

Calcium carbide is the salt of calcium of doubly negative carbide ion.

Carbide ion is strongly basic and thus abstracts protons.

The carbide ion in a molecule of calcium carbide accepts two protons from water and forms acetylene and calcium hydroxide by combining hydroxide ions from water with calcium ion.
