Oh, welding, the art of putting hot metal together! So, let me try to break it down for you. When ethyne, also known as C2H2, reacts with oxygen, here's what happens: C2H2 says to oxygen, "Hey, wanna dance?" And oxygen says, "Sure, why not? Let's make some heat!" So, they start to dance around, and before you know it, they form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). It's like a chemistry tango, turning gases into a liquid and a gas. Pretty cool, huh?
C2H2 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
In this reaction, ethyne (C2H2) reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
