    The acyetlyene is dissolved in the acetone. Think of the carbon
    dioxide dissolved in a bottle of soda (think "Pepsi-cola"). So long as
    the cap is on the bottle, the gas (CO2) remains dissolved in the
    liquid, because it is under pressure. Once you open the cap, the
    pressure inside the bottle drops and the gas is released from being
    dissolved, and fizzes out. If the soda bottle is upright, the gas
    leaks out. If it is laying on its side, the gas forces the liquid out.
    In simplified terms, the same thing happens inside of an Acetlyene
    tank.
