colorless flammable liquid, with active chemical reaction properties. It is easy to polymerize in the liquid phase or gas phase, and industrial products contain a polymerization inhibitor to prevent polymerization. The relative density was 0. 7589. The boiling point of 35~36 deg C. Melting Point -115.8 °c. Viscosity (20 deg C) 0.22mPa.s. Refractive index 3767 flash point -45.5 °c. Spontaneous ignition point was 201. 66 ℃. Slightly soluble in water, only 0. 9% (mass) dissolved. The explosion limit in air is 1.7% to 28% (by volume).
acetylene is produced from calcium carbide, and acetylene is reacted with ethanol under pressure in the presence of potassium hydroxide catalyst.
It can be used as the intermediate of sulfadiazine, the monomer of copolymer and the raw material of organic synthesis, and the perfume and lubricant additive can be prepared. It is used as an anesthetic and analgesic in medicine.
It can cause central nerve paralysis, and its anesthetic effect is twice as strong as ether. Rats inhaled 44mg/L concentration of this product vapor 4 hours, 60% died. See ethyl ether.
General self-use, often stored in the ground, low temperature sealed storage, in order to minimize evaporation loss. According to the provisions of flammable and toxic chemicals storage and transportation.
