Here is the question:
1. How would you obtain ethanal from ethyne, give the equation
of the reaction.
2. How would you distinguish ethyne from ethane?
Thanks in advance!

ethyne and ethene can be seperated by silver nitrate test.

For the first question,
bubbling ethyne through dilute sulfuric acid at 60'C yields
ethanal, and also small quantities of ethenol, an isomer.
C2H2 + H2O → H2C=CHOH
H2C=CHOH<==>CH3CHO
