Combustion Of Acetylene Lab
I. Title: Combustion of Acetylene
II. Purpose: To prepare acetylene and determine the ratio of the volume of acetylene to the volume of oxygen for complete combustion.
III. Materials:
1000 mL beaker
Tap water
4 large test tubes calcium carbide (CaC2) googles and apron matches IV. Procedure:
1) Fill a 1000 mL beaker ¾ full of tap water.
2) Obtain 4 large test tubes.
3) Fill the first test tube 100% full with tap water. Fill the 2nd test tube 50% full, the 3rd 25% full, and the 4th test tube 7.4% full.
4) Place a small piece of Calcium Carbide (CaC2) into the 1000 mL beaker. As it reacts with the water, it will form acetylene gas (C2H2). Place thumb over the 1st test tube and invert it into the 1000 mL beaker. When it is below
