A mixture of ethyne (acetylene) and oxygen is burnt for welding. Can you tell why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used?
A mixture of ethyne and air is not used for welding because when ethyne is burnt in air, it gives a sooty flame due to incomplete combustion which is not enough to melt metals for welding.
