Introduction about calcium carbide?

Calcuim carbide is a chemical compound. It is mainly used to produce acetylene and calcium cyanamide. It is sometimes used to ripen fruit, though this can lead to cancer.


Did miners hat use calcium carbide lights?

Carbide lamps, or acetylene gas lamps, are simple lamps that produce and burn acetylene (C2H2) which is created by the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC2) with water (H2O). ... Portable acetylene gas lamps, worn on the hat or carried by hand, were widely used in mining in the early twentieth century.


Write the equation and balance for solid calcium carbide will react with water to produce acetylene gas and aqueous calcium hydroxidde?

CaC2 (s)+2H2O(l)=> C2H2(g) + Ca(OH)2


What is chemical equation for acetylene being burnt during some acetylene welding?

There are several reactions that will produce acetylene. The two used commerically are the cracking of petroleum which involves several reactions but the other is reacting calcium carbide with water. Calcium carbide is first produced in a blast furnace with limestone (calcium carbonate) and coal. When it is reacted with water the reaction is CaC2 + H2O -> CaO + C2H2 Calcium carbibe plus water -> calcium oxide and ethene (acetylene)


By what process do carbide lamps work?

For a carbide lamp to work, there is two chemical reactions that have to take place. The first chemical reactions occurs from calcium carbide and water. The second, is between calcium oxide and water. The reactions produce a very bright but gentle flame. The amount of water that combines with the calcium carbide and calcium oxide to produce this flame, is initially set by the operator of the lamp.


What is the natural source for calcium carbide miners gas?

Calcium carbide is a chemical compound that reacts with water to produce acetylene gas, which is combustible and is used in mining lamps. The gas also encourages fruit growth in plants such as pineapples. Calcium carbide is used in making steel, PVC, signal flares and some old-fashioned fireworks, in addition to mining. Calcium carbide is man-made. It is produced in a 2000º electric arc furnace. There is no "natural source" for the substance. You cannot go dig it up somewhere. If you could, it would be a clear or bluish crystal, rather soft, with an unpleasant odor. I would go into the science of it in more depth, but the foregoing answers the question asked and you don't need to be a chemistry major to understand it. :) +++ I'd be very surprised if miners still use acetylene lamps! They were used by miners in gas-free ground (usually metal-ore mines and underground stone quarries) many years ago. They were used by many cavers until electric lamps (usually ex-colliery) became common in the 1960s, then had a brief flurry of popularity again in the 1980s-90s when developments in caving techniques and equipment meant the electric mining lamps were no longer safe to use due to their liquid electrolytes . Now acetylene lamps are pretty well obsolete, displaced in mining and in caving by l.e.d lamps; and suppliers of calcium carbide are becoming hard to find.


What is the function of hydrogen in hydrolysis?

Hydrolysis of water produce hydrogen ions.


Can calcium carbide be an alternative to oil lamps?

Calcium carbide lamps have been used (historically in mines) to create light by immersing calcium carbide in water to produce acytelene gas, which burns and creates light. Although they work as lamps, the gas produced by them makes them less safe than oil lamps, and as such they were usually only used in industrial lighting rather than in homes. Electrical lighting is usually safer than either oil or carbide lamps because there is less danger of fire.


What conditions can produce hydrolysis of an ester?

Either an acidic of basic condition can produce hydrolysis of an ester. An ester is derived from an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.


What is the starting material to produce benzene?

Does Hydrolysis or dehydration produce water as a byproduct?

Hydrolysis uses water in the reaction and dehydration removes it. The answer is dehydration.
