Calcium Carbide, CAS No. : 75-20-7

pure calcium carbide is a colorless and odorless solid with the chemical formula cac2. calcium carbide, also known as calcium acetylide, is a chemical compound with the chemical formula of cac² and mainly used in industrial production of acetylene, calcium hydroxide and calcium cyanamide. also used in the desulfurization of iron.

commercial calcium carbide, however, may present a relatively wide range of colours depending on the impurities present (usually calcium, magnesium, and other oxides). cac2 is a chemical compound with a chemical name calcium carbide. it is also known as calcium acetylide, phenyl glyceryl ether diacetate, and glycerol phenyl ether diacetate. calcium carbide in its pure form appears as a colourless crystalline solid and is a rock-like structure at room temperature.
