acetylene

listen to the pronunciation of acetylene
Englisch - Englisch
Any organic compound having one or more carbon–carbon triple bonds; an alkyne
Ethyne; the simplest alkyne, a hydrocarbon of formula HC≡CH. It is a colourless gas, with a peculiar, unpleasant odour, formerly used as an illuminating gas, but now used in welding or metallurgy
A gas produced by the action of water upon calcium chloride This gas combined with oxygen burns with a very hot flame
A hydrocarbon gas used in welding and flame-cutting operations; it generates high heat when used with gaseous oxygen under pressure
A highly combustible gas composed of carbon and hydrogen Used as a fuel gas in the oxyacetylene welding process
Unsaturated hydrocarbon, formula C2H2, systematic name ethyne; member of the alkyne family; major component of incomplete combustion
a colorless flammable gas used chiefly in welding and in organic synthesis
A flammable gas C2H2, produced by water reacting with Calcium Carbide and burnt to yield light See Carbide Miscellaneous terms Ref JJ
A gaseous compound of carbon and hydrogen, in the proportion of two atoms of the former to two of the latter
Acetylene is a colourless gas which burns with a very hot bright flame. It is often used in lamps and for cutting and welding metal. a gas which burns with a bright flame and is used in equipment for cutting and joining pieces of metal oxyacetylene (acetyl chemical group (19-21 centuries), from acet-; ACETAMINOPHEN). or ethyne Simplest alkyne, C2H2. A colourless, flammable, explosive gas, it is used as a fuel in welding and cutting metals and as a raw material for many organic compounds and plastics. It is produced by reaction of water with calcium carbide, passage of a hydrocarbon through an electric arc, or partial combustion of methane. Decomposing it liberates heat; depending on degree of purity, it is also an explosive. An acetylene torch reaches about 6,000 °F (3,300 °C), hotter than combustion of any other known gas mixture. See also hydrocarbon
Its light is very brilliant
{i} ethine, gaseous hydrocarbon used in welding and in chemical manufacture (Chemistry)
Any organic compound having one or more carbon-carbon triple bond; an alkyne
It is a colorless gas, with a peculiar, unpleasant odor, and is produced for use as an illuminating gas in a number of ways, but chiefly by the action of water on calcium carbide
ethine
acetylene black
A form of carbon black formed by the decomposition (but not by the burning) of acetylene. It is characterized by its high degree of crystalline orientation compared with other sources of carbon black
acetylene torch
An oxyacetylene torch
acetylene burner
burner which uses acetylene gas
acetylene gas
{i} ethine, gaseous hydrocarbon used in welding and in chemical manufacture (Chemistry)
acetylene series
A series of unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, each containing at least one triple carbon bond, having chemical properties resembling acetylene and having the general formula C, with acetylene being the simplest member
acetylene welding
welding done with acetylene used as fuel
terminal acetylene
Any acetylene (alkyne) having the triple bond attached to a terminal carbon atom; R-CC-H
