Summary: Calculated Structure
Common name: Acetylene
Short description: Acetylene is an odorless, colorless gas.
Keyword: welding, coal, Davy
Layman's explanation: Acetylene is an odorless and colorless gas that was discovered in England by E. Davy. This gas can be made from limestone and coal or from other petrochemical processes. The combustion of acetylene and pure oxygen produces the hottest flame temperature possible of 3300 oC. As a result, it is an important fuel for welding and cutting metals. In addition, this chemical can be used as an anesthetic, however, overexposure is hazardous.
