because it is an organic compound and its functional group is co-oh which is an acid so due to its acidic functional group its characteristics became acidic

Which is more acetic water or acetylene?
Do you mean acidic? Water has a pKa of ~14 and acetylene has a pKa of ~25, so water is more acidic.
Predict the acidic basic or neutral character of the solutions of the following salt?
acidic character
In what sense is acetylene a proton acid?
The protons in acetylene (C2H2) are very weakly acidic. With a strong base (eg. sodium hydride, NaH), they can be abstracted, giving the corresponding metal acetylide (NaC2H, and Hydrogen, H2).
Is acetylene ionic or covalent?
Acetylene is a covalent compound
The empirical formula for acetylene?
Acetylene is C2H2 so its emperical formula is C1H1.

Why are H atoms of acetylene slightly acidic and replaceable by metals like Na or Ag while H atoms of ethylene are not?
ASSCLOWN.
Why acetylene is more acidic than ethylene?
The acidity of a substance is measured by its pKa. A given acid will give up its proton to the base of an acid with a higher pKa value. The base of a given acid with deprotonate an acid with a lower pKa value.The pKa of water is 15.74The pKa of ammonia is 34The pKa of acetylene is 25What this means is that acetylene will not act as an acid in water and there will be essentially no dissociation of the hydrogen ion (the concentration of HCC- is essentially zero). This means that acetylene can dissociate in ammonia, but only to a small extent. Acetylene is considered a weak acid in ammonia.See the Web Link for a very good explanation of this (with a direct comparison of water, ammonia, and acetylene). It is a pdf file.
What is the on-screen blinking character that shows where the character will be entered?
The cursor shows you where the next character will be.
What shows how acidic or basic solution is?
A ph scale
Is acetylene ionic or covalent?
Acetylene is a covalent compound
What acetylene oxidation state?
Acetylene is a neutral compound.
What is the geometry at the carbons in the acetylene?
Acetylene has a linear molecule.
What does a yardstick character do?
Shows how a main character has changed
Is acetylene a proplene based fuel?
Acetylene, C2H2, is a pretty simple hydrocarbon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylene
