Combustion of Acetylene

2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 4CO₂ + 2H₂O

نظرة عامة

Acetylene burns in oxygen with an intensely hot flame reaching 3300 C, the hottest of any common fuel-oxygen combination. The oxy-acetylene flame is hot enough to cut and weld steel. Acetylene's triple bond stores significant energy that is released upon combustion.
