14 REVIEW AND BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



Moist air slowly effects this decomposition. Since it is the decomposition 

 product of this carbide which makes it valuable we include below some 

 references to acetylene, its properties, production, etc. The equations 

 for the production of CaC2 are : — 



CaO+3C==CaC2+CO, or 



CaC03+4C=CaC2-|-3CO.
