Acetylene is converted to acetaldehyde when acetylene is treated with dil. ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$ and small amount of ${\mathrm{HgSO}}_4$. $$\begin{array}{lr}\mathrm{CH}\equiv \mathrm{CH}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\frac{{\mathrm{Dill}}^{\mathrm{H}}{\mathrm{SO}}_4}{{\mathrm{Hg}}^{2+}}& {\mathrm{CH}}_3-\mathrm{CHO}\\ \text{ Acetylene }& \text{ acetaldehyde }\end{array}$$
