Enthelpy of combustion of acetylene and fluorine

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for data regarding the enthalpy of combustion of acetylene when reacted with pure fluorine under stoichiometric conditions. The inquirer has found information related to combustion with oxygen but seeks specific data on fluorine to understand the upper heating value in this reaction. While some relevant academic papers exist, their high cost poses a barrier to access. Participants suggest estimating the enthalpy using bond enthalpies and Hess's law, and recommend a combustion database known for detailed measurements, specifically the NASA polynomials, as a potential resource for further information.

Trying to find data on the enthalpy of combustion of acetylene and fluorine.
Hi Folks,

I have been trying to find data on the enthalpy of combustion of acetylene and fluorine.

I have found the data for oxygen but am curious about the use of pure fluorine in stochiometric conditions and the resulting upper heating value when the oxidant is acetylene.

I am happy to provide the reasons for my inquiry upon request.

Note that I seem to have found some relevant papers on the subject but they can be pretty expensive to download even when renting them for a few days.

Anyone's help in this regard would be most appreciated.

Thanks for your consideration.

You can always estimate using bond enthalpies and Hess law.

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
