What is Calcium Carbide? It is a chemical compound with the chemical formula of CaC2. The pure material is colourless, while pieces of technical-grade calcium carbide are grey or brown and consist of about 80–85% of CaC2 (the rest is CaO (calcium oxide), Ca3P2 (calcium phosphide), CaS (calcium sulfide), Ca3N2 (calcium nitride), SiC (silicon carbide), etc.). In the presence of trace moisture, technical-grade calcium carbide emits an unpleasant odour reminiscent of garlic.

Construction
They are used in the production of calcium hydroxide, a key ingredient in cement. Calcium hydroxide, also known as slaked lime, is essential for the construction of infrastructure.
Moisture Testing
It can be used to determine the moisture content of soil. When mixed with a soil sample in a closed container, it reacts with water to release acetylene gas.
