Calcium Carbide and Water Experiment | Explosion🔥🤓

In this video you will see the evolution of Acetylene gas when Calcium Carbide reacts with water.
The same is used in the gas welding stations.
Calcium carbide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula of CaC2. Its main use industrially is in the production of acetylene and calcium cyanamide.
The pure material is colorless, however pieces of technical-grade calcium carbide are grey or brown and consist of about 80-85% of CaC2 (the rest is CaO (calcium oxide), Ca3P2 (calcium phosphide), CaS (calcium sulfide), Ca3N2 (calcium nitride), SiC (silicon carbide), etc.). In the presence of trace moisture, technical-grade calcium carbide emits an unpleasant odor reminiscent of garlic.
Applications of calcium carbide include manufacture of acetylene gas, and for generation of acetylene in carbide lamps; manufacture of chemicals for fertilizer; and in steelmaking.
Calcium carbide is produced industrially in an electric arc furnace from a mixture of lime and coke at approximately 2200 °C. This method has not changed since its invention in 1892:
CaO + 3 C → CaC2 + CO
Reaction...
The reaction of calcium carbide with water, producing acetylene and calcium hydroxide, was discovered by Friedrich Wöhler in 1862.
CaC2 + 2 H2O → C2H2 + Ca(OH)2
This reaction was the basis of the industrial manufacture of acetylene, and is the major industrial use of calcium carbide.
At high temperatures, CaC2 reacts with water vapor to give calcium carbonate, carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
Today acetylene is mainly manufactured by the partial combustion of methane or appears as a side product in the ethylene stream from cracking of hydrocarbons. Approximately 400,000 tonnes are produced this way annually.
The high temperature required for this reaction is not practically achievable by traditional combustion, so the reaction is performed in an electric arc furnace with graphite electrodes. The carbide product produced generally contains around 80% calcium carbide by weight. The carbide is crushed to produce small lumps that can range from a few mm up to 50 mm. The impurities are concentrated in the finer fractions. The CaC2 content of the product is assayed by measuring the amount of acetylene produced on hydrolysis. As an example, the British and German standards for the content of the coarser fractions are 295 L/kg and 300 L/kg respectively (at 101 kPa pressure and 20 °C temperature). Impurities present in the carbide include phosphide, which produces phosphine when hydrolysed.

arre that was fire on water and not water on fire 🔥

[@vishalkapse5]

😂😂

[@newagarwalcomputech2952]

I can say that it was not water

[@maherukhfatima3216]

😳😯😯

[@hatelagamingyt3926]

Calciam kon SA shop me milta hai

[@vishalkapse5]

In gas welding station

[@meixizou86]

disliked for not using PPE.

[@Fredrick_Turner]

PPE?

[@gyansharma970]

hey what is the song name

[@sagarlaman8929]

Mst

[@vishalkapse5]

+sagar laman thankyou

[@saritavishwakarma7994]

hi
I am rishi
bahut sahi

[@abhijeetsamal9204]

Bhai koi tho bataho calcium carbonate khaha milta hai mai usko 50 rs. Paytm krunha

[@vishalkapse5]

bhai gas welding ke workshop me mil jayega tuze

[@limestonandcalcitedolomite3860]

We are manufacturer of limestone daily produce 100ton

[@annapoornasingh7720]

Nice.

[@vishalkapse5]

Deeksha Singh thanks

[@annapoornasingh7720]

Are you from lucknow?

[@vishalkapse5]

No...

[@annapoornasingh7720]

Ok i just thought

[@vishalkapse5]

R u from Lucknow
