Why H atoms of acetylene slightly acidic and replaceable by metals?

It is due to two reasons, 1- C-C short bond length which is responsible to almost localized the pi electrons between two nuclei and to decrease the electron density at opposite side of both nuclei and 2- sp1 hybridized orbitals of carbon which are responsible to attract the electron pair of C-H bond.

Why are H atoms of acetylene slightly acidic and replaceable by metals like Na or Ag while H atoms of ethylene are not?
ASSCLOWN.
What is a reaction between acetylene and oxygen that is used in welding metal?
Used in welding metals, the reaction of acetylene with oxygen has = -1256.2= -1256.2 .
Are alkali metal and alkaline earht metals similar?
The alkali earth metals act in a similar but slightly less reactive way to alkali metals
What are properties on non metals and examples?
non metals give acidic oxides e.g S,Cetc
How are semi metals related to metals and non metals?
They have properties of metals and non-metals, and also have properties that are around '1/2' of both. An example is silicon, which has a high melting point and is solid (metallic properties). However it is very brittle and it forms an acidic oxide (non-metal). It is a semi-conductor.

What is acetylene welding?
Acetylene welding is a process in which like metals are joined by heating them to their melting temperature with an oxy-acetylene flame produced by a torch.
Why can acetylene torch be used to weld metals together?
Acetylene torches can be used to weld metals together because they have a higher temperature than the metal's melting point.
What is the industrial use of acetylene?
Acetylene uses:- welding- metals cutting- feedstock for plastics and acrylic products fabrication
What is a reaction between acetylene and oxygen that is used in welding metal?
Used in welding metals, the reaction of acetylene with oxygen has = -1256.2= -1256.2 .
Why do some trace metals require nitrous oxide acetylene flame instead of air acetylene flame?
Nitrous oxide acetylene burns at a higher temperature than air acetylene. You'd really need to ask a metallurgist (someone who know just about everything to do with metals) to get the real answer, but basically some metals are harder than others. The harder the metal, the harder it is to cut with fire. Brass and gold are very soft, while iron and titanium are hard.
Is carbon dioxide an acidic gas?
Yes it is. All the oxides of non-metals are acidic and oxides of metals are basic
Can a metal dissolve into a liquid?
Yes. Metals can be dissolved into liquid solutions. Several metals can be dissolved in acidic media such as HNO3 to prepare acidic solutions of these metals.
What gases do mechanics use for heating metals during welding?
mixture of oxygen and acetylene (oxyacetylene)
Is sulfur dioxide acidic?
This is because sulphur dioxide is an acidic oxide. Acidic oxides are formed from non-metals.
Are non metals acidic?
i dont knoe
Why can an acetylene torch be used to weld metals together?
it is an alkyne that burns at about 3500 degrees Celsius, much higher then most metals melting point.
