When water reacts with carbide, it produces acetylene gas and calcium hydroxide. The acetylene gas is highly flammable and can be used in welding torches, while the calcium hydroxide is a byproduct of the reaction and is often discarded as waste.

How is a carbide insert manufactured?

Carbide inserts are made up of a mixture of cobalt, powdered tungsten, carbon alcohol and water which is dried to form a mixed powder. A paste is formed by adding polymer to the mixed powder. This is then pressed into insert-shaped dies and then added to a high-heat furnace which cause the carbide inserts to shrink.

What kind Of Carbide is needed for lamp?

Calcium Carbide is used in "Carbide Lamps". Water, added dropwise to Calcium Carbide yields acetylene plus calcium hydroxide. Acetylene is extremely flammable, giving a colorless flame. The calcium hydroxide present gives the flame its visibility. Calcium Carbide is used in "Carbide Lamps". Water, added dropwise to Calcium Carbide yields acetylene plus calcium hydroxide.

Acetylene gas C2H2 is produced by adding water to calcium carbide CaC2?

Yes, acetylene gas (C2H2) is produced by the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC2) with water. The chemical reaction generates acetylene gas, calcium hydroxide, and some heat. This process is commonly used in industrial settings for welding and cutting applications.


Does adding salt to water change its pH level to become more alkaline?

No, adding salt to water does not change its pH level to become more alkaline. Salt does not directly affect the pH level of water.


How is acetylene gas prepared in the laboratory?

The usual laboratory method for making acetylene is by adding (dropwise) water to calcium carbide:CaC2 + 2 H2O → C2H2 + Ca(OH)2Calcium carbide is very cheap and available without restrictions in most countries.
