By combustion ethyne is transformed in carbon dioxide and water.
Ethyne is C2H2 2C2H2 + 5O2 ---> 2H2O + 4CO2
It is the balanced equation for the combustion of acetylene (or ethyne).
colourless
convert ethyne into ethane
The properly balanced combustion reaction is given by (don't care about N2 on the product side) C2H2 + 5/2 (O2 + 3.75N2) -> 2CO2 + H2O + N2 So, the molar air to fuel ratio for complete combustion is 2/5.
When ethyne is burnt in air, it gives a sooty flame. This is due to incomplete combustion caused by limited supply of air. However, if ethyne is burnt with oxygen, it gives a clean flame with temperature 3000°C because of complete combustion. This oxy-acetylene flame is used for welding. It is not possible to attain such a high temperature without mixing oxygen. This is the reason why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used. Hope its fine with u !! all the best !!
Oxygen is much more dense than ethyne. This is why a test tube full of ethyne would be held upside down so the ethyne doesnt escape into the air.

polar
ethyne (or acetylene) is non polar
The chemical formula of ethyne (acerylene) is C2H2 - two hydrogen atoms.
