Aluminium carbide reacts with heavy water gives________?

 

The reaction of aluminium carbide with heavy water is similar to that with water.

Hydrolysis of ionic carbides produces volatile products. Based on the volatile product formed, ionic carbides are classified. Hydrolysis of aluminium carbide yields methane and so it is called methanide.

Reaction with water

$A{l}_4{C}_3+12H_{2}O\to 4Al{\left(OH\right)}_3+3C{H}_4$

Reaction with heavy water

$A{l}_4{C}_3+12D_{2}O\to 4Al{\left(OD\right)}_3+3C{D}_4$
