What state of matter is Acetylene in the cylinder under pressure?

Acetylene is different from most gasses in a tank. An acetylene tank is not hollow- it contains a porous material (think of a hard sponge) that is saturated with liquid acetone. When acetylene is pumped into the tank under pressure, it dissolves in the liquid. This is similar to how carbon dioxide dissolves in a soda (in a bottle or an) under pressure. While in the tank, it is mainly in a liquid.


Is acetylene a solid or gas?

Acetylene is a gas at standard temperature and pressure.


Acetylene gas should never be used at a pressure above?

15 psig. At pressures above that, acetylene can explode.


Is acetylene soluble in water?

Acetylene gas is usually dissolved in acetone, as in this condition it occupies a much smaller volume. [But your acetylene cylinders should be kept vertical.] And acetylene under quite modest pressure is very explosive just by itself.


Is it safe to use an acetylene tank that has not been used in about 10 years?

If there is pressure in the tank it may be possible to use it. If not I wouldn't recommend it. In the tank there are blocks of material and Acetone. These absorb the Acetylene allowing it to be charged to 300 PSI. If the Acetone (it is in liquid form) has leaked out the Acetylene could explode if the cylinder is recharged. Acetylene pressure is RED LINED at 35PSI.


What is the pressure of a full acetylene cylinder?

OSHA standard, 1910.253(a)(2) says:Maximum pressure. Under no condition shall acetylene be generated, piped(except in approved cylinder manifolds) or utilized at a pressure in excess of 15psig (103 kPa gauge pressure) or 30 psia (206 kPa absolute). ... This requirementis not intended to apply to storage of acetylene dissolved in a suitable solvent incylinders manufactured and maintained according to U.S. Department ofTransportation requirements, or to acetylene for chemical use. The use of liquidacetylene shall be prohibited.


How many kilograms is 200 cubic feet acetylene?

At normal temperature and pressure, it is approx 6.19 kilograms.


Is dicarbon dihydride a liquid solid or gas?

This is just a fancy way of saying acetylene which can be a liquid, a solid, or a gas depending on the temperature and pressure it is subjected to. Most often, under STP or RTP, acetylene is a gas.


A 175 mL sample of neon had its pressure changed from 75kPa to 150kPa what is its new volume if temperature is held constant?

240 Assuming ideal gas behavior, doubling the pressure means reducing the volume by a factor of 2.


What are the main consideration for the storage of compressed gas cylinder?

Go and check safety regulations, and do it thoroughly. Some cylinders must be stored under very strict conditions - acetylene cylinders, for instance, contain a fusible pressure release plug that may leak acetylene, and an acetylene-air mixture is highly explosive. Check the regs.


What are the options available for improving locally made acetylene generators?

Locally made aceytlene generators operates at low pressure (


What happens to gas pressure when temperature rises?

If the volume remains constant, the pressure will increase as the temperature increases. In an ideal gas (under normal conditions, gases have a behavior that's close to that of an ideal gas), the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. Assuming, of course, that the temperature is measured in Kelvin.
