It burns quite well. Acetylene (IUPAC: ethyne) is used in welding torches. It will burn at 514 degrees Fahrenheit (ChaCha Answers).

"Volatile" means "easily evaporated at normal temperatures". Anything that is already a gas a normal temperatures is, by definition, volatile.

Can argon be stored with oxygen or acetylene?

Argon is an inert gas- it does not react with any other gasses. While fuel gasses (acetylene) and oxygen must be separated during storage due to the fire hazard, there IS no fire hazard from an inert gas. It may be stored with fuel gasses or with oxygen.

What is used as a welding gas?

The gas is going to depend on what style of welding you are doing. For TIG (tungsten inert gas) it is 100% argon. For heliarc, which is a form of TIG, it is 100% helium. For MIG (metal inert gas) it is 75% argon/ 25% carbon dioxide. Finally, for gas welding, it acetylene and oxygen--separate tanks. (my son helped on this one)

What is the difference between oxygen and acetylene and MIG welding?

Oxy-Acetylene, uses a burning flame to melt the metals being welded. You need a separate filler rod and flux to complete the weld. MIG (Metal Inert Gas), uses electricity in an effective dead short, to heat up and melt the metal. The electricty is passed through a wire which melts and becomes part of the weld. Inert gas surrounds the weld while it cools to prevent oxidation. The whole process is controlled with motors, driving the wire through the tongs, a switch to control the current and a valve to release the inert gas. All held in one convenient pistol grip.
