what is calburo?

[chase]

does anybody know what calburo is?

thanx!

[radiazone]

ginagamit pangpahinog ng saging

Calcium Carbide.

[radiazone]

ginagamit din eto sa homemade kawayan cannon, yung matibay/makapal na kawayan baka wasak ang kawayan pati katawan mo.....

ito ay parang bato, pag hinaluan ng tubig nagrereact sya iinit.
Kung ilalagay sa tubong metal or a can connected together (1 meter is enough) with a solid base para hindi magbabackfire then with a small amount of water then shake mo, sinindihan mo ang outer openings... kaBOOOM

how about used calcium carbide, yung nakapagreact na with water to produce acetylene gas? ano na yun?

[orly_andico]

mixing it with water produces a flammable gas (acetylene, same gas used for welding)
it's also used in miner's helmets nung wala pang battery

pampahinog siya ng iba-ibang prutas because fruits are "triggered" to ripen by minute amounts of hexane produced by the parent plant. acetylene and hexane are chemically very similar.

sir orly,

u sa its used to make acetylene...ano yung by-product ng reaction ng calcium carbide n water?

coz the calburo that i have here is white, lumpy and doesn't produce acetylene na. kasi its been used to produce acetylene na. ano na ito?

calburo is limestone

pag nababasa nag kakaroon ng reaction, usually tumtigas sya, in the process pag tigas, nag iimit ng gases.

pag nilagay mo sa sealed container sasabog yan, kasi wala mapupuntahan yung gases.
