A gaseous compound of carbon and hydrogen, in the proportion of two atoms of the former to two of the latter. It is a colorless gas, with a peculiar, unpleasant odor, and is produced for use as an illuminating gas in a number of ways, but chiefly by the action of water on calcium carbide. Its light is very brilliant.
A gas often used with air or oxygen for welding, brazing, or soldering applications
a colorless flammable gas used chiefly in welding and in organic synthesis
A flammable gas C2H2, created by water reacting with Calcium Carbide and burnt to produce light.
A colorless, highly flammable, and explosive gas that is commonly used for welding and cutting metal. In the early automotive days, it was used to fuel outboard lamps, and it's still used today as an illuminant.
A highly flammable gas used for metal cutting, welding, and brazing
A gaseous, flammable hydrocarbon. A raw material for synthesis used in oxyacetylene welding and cutting.
A colorless hydrocarbon gas, burning with a bright flame, used as a fuel in welding and soldering.
A hydrocarbon gas used in welding and flame-cutting operations; it generates high heat when used with gaseous oxygen under pressure.
Acetylene (systematic name: ethyne) is the simplest alkyne hydrocarbon, consisting of two hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms connected by a triple bond. Because it contains a triple bond, acetylene is an unsaturated chemical compound.
