A. After having viewed the 'Anatomy of a firework' interactive answer the following: What are the different parts that make up a firework?
Fireworks have a few different parts such as Potassium Nitrate, Charcoal, and Sulfur and they use different chemical compounds to create three kinds of results:
A tremendous "boom"
A bright light
Heat
What is the recipe for black powder? Why do you think Potassium Nitrate, Charcoal, and Sulfur become explosive after they are ground together?
Black Powder is a mixture of Potassium Nitrate, Charcoal and Sulfur. The Sulfur and Charcoal act as fuels, and the Potassium Nitrate is an oxidizer.
Black powder is used in fireworks because it consists of potassium nitrate (75%), charcoal (15%), and sulfur (10%). Each …show more content…
Binders- Binders are used to hold what is essentially the mixture of the firework together in a paste like mixture.
2. What are the most abundant elements found in the human body?
Almost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements called oxygen, carbon,hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is made up of another five elements called potassium, sulfur,sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. These elements are necessary to life.
3. Which element has the lowest melting point?
The chemical element with the lowest melting point is Helium and it melts at -272°C.
4. Which element has the 8th lowest melting point? Krypton is an element with the 8th lowest melting point. Krypton will melt at a temperature of -157°C.
5. Which element has the highest melting point?
The element with the highest melting point is Carbon. It melts at a temperature of 3500 °C.
6. Which element has the 2nd highest melting point?
The element with the second highest melting point is Tungsten. Tungsten melts at a temperature of 3410 °C.
