A mixture of oxygen and ethyne is burnt for welding ; can you tell why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used? |
|
Answer» Ethyne when burnt in the presence of oxygen gives enough heat that can be used for welding. Whereas if it is burnt in air which contains nitrogen, CO2 and other inactive gaseous contents, sufficient oxygen is not available for burning ethyne to give the required heat. |
