Calcium carbide reacts violently with water to release acetylene, which is an extremely flammable substance

The carbon powder is too fine, around 10μm, and magnesium oxide contributes to combustion; it oxidizes very rapidly in air

When electric lime comes into contact with humid air, it undergoes an exothermic reaction that produces acetylene gas
