What makes gunpowder




















More than happy to answer questions! As the graphic states, the equation given is a simplified one; really, there are a myriad of reactions occurring during the combustion of black powder. This is an overall equation, taking into account a number of different reactions which occur during the burning of black powder. He also goes into a little detail about some of the individual reactions — the book is free to view for that portion at least on Google Books.

The above equation is to complicated to understand i thought that is why once a persona short by gun is going to die. But my question is that from above equation which chemical formula once contact with blood it kill blood cell?

Without the constant burning of black powder, could everyone, still occupy the land in which they currently live on? I beg to differ. Could the burning of black powder be for the sole purpose that none matter entities can exist? What type of reaction is this? Potassium nitrate thermally decomposes, the oxygen generated by this decomposition then proceeds to react in a combustion reaction with the carbon, to give but two examples. Can you tell me are there any substitute substances that can be used for testing to replace gunpowder with.

If you are unaware of any perhaps you could even me give me the size and weight of the grain? Thanks for any help- it really would be appreciated. By any chance, does anyone know the ignition temperature of gunpowder with and without sulfur? The graphic says sulfur lowers ignition temp, so, what does it lower it to and what would the ignition temp be without it?

Hey, just for fun, guess how much metal is in gunpowder. Close Menu Home. Infographics Index. Like Loading You could either choose to start with an Access module , or a module which allows you to count your previous learning towards an Open University qualification.

A mixture of solid and gaseous products are produced by the reactions, along with a very small amount of water.

The fuse, which allows the delay before the bursting of the firework, and the bursting charge itself, will also utilise gunpowder.

The burning of the charcoal in gunpowder is often the source of the sparkling tails of fireworks as they ascend. The gases produced by the combustion reaction are the causes of the propellant effect, and the eventual bursting of the firework. In some cases, safer alternatives to gunpowder that are more stable and easier to handle are now used in modern fireworks.

However, many still utilise gunpowder, continuing a centuries old custom. For you. World globe An icon of the world globe, indicating different international options. Get the Insider App. Click here to learn more. A leading-edge research firm focused on digital transformation.
