It burns quite well. Acetylene (IUPAC: ethyne) is used in welding torches. It will burn at 514 degrees Fahrenheit (ChaCha Answers).

Can you mix helium and acetylene?

It is not recommended to mix helium and acetylene as they have different physical and chemical properties. Helium is an inert gas while acetylene is a flammable gas. Mixing them could create a hazardous situation due to the risk of combustion or explosion.


What is used as a welding gas?

The gas is going to depend on what style of welding you are doing. For TIG (tungsten inert gas) it is 100% argon. For heliarc, which is a form of TIG, it is 100% helium. For MIG (metal inert gas) it is 75% argon/ 25% carbon dioxide. Finally, for gas welding, it acetylene and oxygen--separate tanks. (my son helped on this one)


Can you weld with argon instead of acetylene?

Argon is generally not used for welding on its own because it is an inert gas and does not support combustion like acetylene. However, argon is commonly used as a shielding gas in processes like TIG and MIG welding to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination.


Can argon be stored with oxygen or acetylene?

Argon is an inert gas- it does not react with any other gasses. While fuel gasses (acetylene) and oxygen must be separated during storage due to the fire hazard, there IS no fire hazard from an inert gas. It may be stored with fuel gasses or with oxygen.


Is acetylene a solid or gas?

What is the expansion ratio of acetylene?

The expansion ratio of acetylene is approximately 1:668 when it is converted from liquid to gas. This means that one volume of liquid acetylene will expand to form 668 volumes of acetylene gas at room temperature and pressure.


What is full form of DA in gas cutting?

What does acetone absorb in acetylene tanks?

Acetone is used in acetylene tanks to absorb and stabilize acetylene gas. It acts as a solvent that helps dissolve acetylene, allowing for safer storage at higher pressures. By absorbing acetylene, acetone prevents the gas from becoming too concentrated, which could lead to instability or detonation. This combination helps ensure the safe handling and transport of acetylene.
