Acetylene, which has the chemical formula C₂H₂, is a gas that is colorless and highly flammable. It is distinctly reminiscent of garlic in scent; in its pure state, Acetylene does not smell, which underscores the importance of adding garlic-like odor for detection. Its main industrial applications are welding and cutting. During oxy-acetylene welding, acetylene is combined with oxygen to produce tends to yield a flame hot enough to melt and fuse metals. During cutting, a fierce flame heats the metal until it becomes soft; then, an oxygen stream is directed at the metal to slice through it. Additionally, Acetylene is a precursor in some syntheses. Its volatile and highly flammable nature means it needs to be handled with care. In order to guarantee safe storage and transport, it is kept in special cylinders filled with porous material and acetone which prevents the decomposition of acetylene and makes it safe. In order to safely and effectively utilize this compound across different industries, it is important to understand its characteristics and risks of its handling.
