USES OF ALKYNES

The most common form of alkynes Ethyne is used in preparing

many other compounds. Some of these uses are as follows:

 The most common use of Ethyne is for making organic

compounds like ethanol, ethanoic acid, acrylic acid, etc.
 It is also used for making polymers and its beginning materials.
For instance, vinyl chloride is used as the starting material for
PVC and chloroprene is used for synthetic rubber neoprene
 Ethyne is used for preparing many organic solvents.

 Alkynes are commonly used to artificially ripe fruits.

SOURCES OF ALKYNES
 Acetylene is a hot-burning fuel used in welding torches..
 Cicutoxin is a toxin found in water hemlock flowers.

 The simplest of the alkyne series, it is commonly called

acetyline. It is often used as a fuel for welding torches sinces it
produces a large amount of heat upon combustion. 
 Oxyacetylene welding uses compressed acetylene and
compressed oxygen for mixing in the torch flame.
 An exhaustive list would be hard to make, but if you put
calcium carbide in water, the gas that comes off is an alkyne
(ethyne, more commonly called acetylene) C2H2
