Many hundred years ago, a ship was transporting calcium carbide and calcium phosphide (stored in different container). By chance sea-water entered sea and luminous flame appeared a ghost would have come. However, a chemist travelling in it explained it based on reactions. These reactions are
\(\underset{Calcium \, \, Carbide}{CaC_2} + 6H_2O \longrightarrow Ca(OH)_2+ \underset {Acetylene}{C_2H_2} \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \underset { Calcium \, \, phosphide}{Ca_3P_2} + 6H_2O \longrightarrow 3Ca(OH)_2+\underset {Phosphine}{2PH_3}\)
(A) True
(B) False
