Question

A mixture of oxygen and acetylene is used to produce a very high temperature flame called __________ .

Answer 1

• The chemical formula of Oxygen and acetylene is ${\mathrm{O}}_2\mathrm{and}{\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_2$.
• Oxygen is a non-metal necessary for combustion and respiration.
• The burning of organic material in the presence of Oxygen to produce Carbon dioxide$\left({\mathrm{CO}}_2\right)$ and Water$\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$.
• When Oxygen is burnt with organic matter acetylene produces very large amount of heat and flame produced in this reaction is known as oxy-acetylene flame.

Hence, A mixture of oxygen and acetylene is used to produce a very high temperature flame called oxy-acetylene flame.
