A general rule is 3 parts Oxygen to 1 part Acetylene. Other fuel gasses may vary the ratio. This produces a Neutral flame. See the answer to "Types of flames" for more info.

If the oxygen partial pressure in your mix is 1.3 ata at a depth of 37 msw (122 fsw) what is the fraction of oxygen in the mix?
0.28
Reduction of oxygen which forms water occurs during?
The reduction of oxygen that forms water occurs during respiration. It occurs when oxygen and hydrogen mix to form what is called metabolic water.
What kind of reaction is responsible for the liberation of Carbon dioxide in red blood cells?
respiration- The body takes in oxygen and glucose and turns it into carbon dioxide. Glucose is a mix of Carbon D, oxygen, and water. The body uses the oxygen, gets rid of the carbon dioxide and uses some of the water( the rest of the water is waste).
What does oxygen do for fire?
Fire is the release of heat and light during the very rapid combination of oxygen with another substance that we call the fuel of the fire. Although there are other oxidizers that can perform a similar function, in most cases in everyday life you cannot have a fire without a source of oxygen.
What is rust and how does it form?
Rust forms when metals containing iron mix with the oxygen in the air or the water and create a compound named iron oxide. This compoumd has water molecules, so we call it a hydrated compound. Chemically and very simply speaking, iron atoms lose a few electrons to oxygen atoms. This process, where electrons are lost from atoms, is the oxidation process. When oxidation occurs it produces a chemical reaction that creates iron oxide
What is the gas for welding?
Oxygen and acetylene for flame welding. Argon for Tig welding CO2 for MIG welding steels Argon for MIG welding aluminum TRI-mix for robotic mig of steels. And helium is added for some overhead welding.
Which gases are used in normal welding process?
Depends on what you think of as normal welding. Gas welding use oxygen-acetylene. MIG/TIG use Argon. MAG, use an argon-something mix. Depending on what materials you are welding, there are some more options tha might be used.
Which compressed gases are used for welding?
For example argon or helium for TIG welding. Oxi-fuel welding: oxygen and a combustible gas: acetylene, propane, butane, propylene, gasoline, hydrogen, etc.
Explain oxy- acetylene welding process?
Oxygen and acetylene tanks feed into your torch. When opened, the gases will mix in a chamber in the torch, then flow out of the torch tip. Using a spark lighter, they will ignite causing a flame. This flame can be adjusted to a neutral flame by moving the knobs on the tank regulators.
How do you put acetylene in a sentence with at least 10 words?
Many welders still prefer to mix oxygen and acetylene gases when performing a weld.
Can you mix helium and acetylene?
Yes you can mix helium and acetylene but they will not react.
How does oxygen and acetylene help pump a car tire?
Not a good idea. That is an extremely explosive mix.
What does oxygen have to do with welding?
Oxygen is an atmospheric gas that is unwanted in almost all welding processes because in it's molten state, metal oxidizes very easily and causes a weak joint. Weld surfaces are protected during the welding process to keep oxygen from contaminating the weld either by a shielding gas, flux, or in torch welding, the torches own exhaust. Occasionally however, oxygen may be added to the shielding gas mix in small amounts to stabilize the arc and reduce undercutting.
Does calcium carbide and water mix?
yes, when calcium carbide is placed in water it produces acetylene gas and calcium hydroxide.
What do you get when you mix oxygen sulfur and nitrogen?
The result is smog when sulfur and nitrogen mix with oxygen and react with sunlight.
The cutting process results in oxides that mix with molten iron and produce?
Oxy-fuel welding and cutting process results in oxides that mix with the molten iron.
Can oxygen mix with carbon?
Carbon can mix with oxygen as fine particles in suspension, which will eventually settle out if the mixture remains undisturbed. Since oxygen is a gas at room temperature while carbon is a solid, it is difficult to thoroughly mix them.
