ऑक्सीजन तथा एथाइन के मिश्रण का दहन वेल्डिंग के लिए किया जाता है। क्या आप बता सकते हैं कि एथाइन तथा वायु के मिश्रण का उपयोग क्यों नहीं किया जाता?

Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Solution

$2HC \equiv CH + 5{O_2}\, \to \,4C{O_2} + 2{H_2}O$ $+$ Heat

When ethyne is burnt in air, it gives a sooty flame. This is due to incomplete combustion caused by limited supply of air. However, if ethyne is burnt with oxygen, it gives a clean flame with temperature $3000\,^oC$ because of complete combustion. This oxy-acetylene flame is used for welding. It is not possible to attain such a high temperature without mixing oxygen. This is the reason why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used.
