Far as my knowledge in chemistry go, it is impossible.

Dissolve oxygen in water is 8 ppm at ambient pressure and temperature. For anything to explode it must evaporate the remain 999,992 ppm of water so it must have heat of combustion greater than 2300 kJ/kg . 999,992/8 = 287,497,200 kJ/kg

Ten time this figure and it is the energy achieve from Uranium nuclear fission.

For reference energy from chemical reaction of Hydrogen is only 141,000 kJ/kg

Why doesn't oxygen in an oxyacetylene torch burn without the acetylene yet medical oxygen is explosive?

Oxygen is not actually explosive. In an acetylene torch, the torch burns the acetylene and the oxygen only facilitates combustion, so it is not burning the oxygen. Hospitals warn of the explosion hazard of oxygen because pure oxygen accelerates the burn of fuel so fast that it is like an explosion. In common air there is roughly 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, all fuels must have oxygen to burn and when pure oxygen is introduced the fire then has more oxygen thus it accelerates the fire.


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.


Why is silica rich magma explosive?

This is because silica-rich magma is thicker. The thicker the magma, the chance for the dissolved gas in there to escape is less likely. This causes an explosion. When the gases do escape, they cause an even bigger explosion


How does oxygen and acetylene help pump a car tire?

Not a good idea. That is an extremely explosive mix.


What occurs when the pressure of an explosion expanded and tears the casing of the explosive?

When the pressure of an explosion expands and tears the casing of the explosive, it results in the release of the explosive material and the creation of a shockwave. This can lead to widespread damage and destruction in the surrounding area, depending on the size and strength of the explosion.

Is calcium carbide dangerous?

By itself, no. However, if mixed with water, it can form an explosive gas known as acetylene.
