How do you use an oxyacetylene tank/torch setup?
Set the diaphrams:oxygen 10 pounds, acetylene 5 pounds. That is the ratio, 2 to 1. Turn on the acetylene slightly, ignite, and turn up acetylene till the black smoke disapates. Then turn on the oxygen to achieve blue cone flame at tip. Adjust to prop...
molecular geometry of acetylene (or ethyne)?
it is linear because of the sp hybridization. Carbon chemistry Triple bonds=sp=linear=180 degrees double bonds=sp2=triaganol planar= 90 degrees degrees answer 3, we don't need the crystaline structure of acetylene
Why should acetylene cylinders be stored in an upright position?
Acetylene cylinders must be stored in an upright position to allow proper securing and to prevent liquid acetone from escaping. If the cylinders used for gas welding are stored laying down or upside down, liquid acetone will enter the valve passages....
