A mixture of oxygen and ethyne is burnt for welding . Can you tell why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The combustion of ethyne in the presence of air is incomplete combustion producing small heat and large amount of black smoke. However, if ethyne is burnt in oxygen, it gives a clean flame with high temperature `(3000^(@)C)` due to complete combustion of ethyne.
