Acetylene

Acetylene, with the chemical formula C₂H₂, is the simplest alkyne and is also known by its systematic name, ethyne. This colorless and odorless gas in its pure form is highly flammable and widely utilized as a fuel and a foundational chemical building block. Commercial grades often possess a distinct garlic-like smell due to impurities. One of its most prominent applications is oxy-acetylene welding and cutting, where it produces a flame with an exceptionally high temperature, around 3,300°C (6,000°F). It also plays a role in the synthesis of vitamins A and E, various pharmaceuticals, and even in radiocarbon dating.
