A fine example of Explosive Combustion would be tossing a match into a puddle of gasoline. (Don't try that at home!)

Is pressurized oxygen combustible?
Oxygen is neither combustible nor explosive, it is merely the chemical needed for combustion to take place. As such, the higher the concentration of oxygen, the higher the rate of combustion, provided that combustible material is present.
Why most of the explosive contain nitrogen compound?
Most explosives contain nitrogen compounds because these compounds often have high stability and can release large amounts of energy when they undergo combustion or decomposition reactions. Nitrogen compounds such as nitroglycerin and TNT have nitrogen atoms that form strong bonds, making them highly reactive and explosive when triggered. Additionally, the presence of nitrogen allows for the release of small gas molecules during combustion, generating a rapid expansion of gases that results in an explosive force.
Is mt shasta a explosive or a non-explosive volcano?
Mount Shasta is Explosive.
Is mt st helens non-explosive or explosive?
Mount St. Helens is generally regarded as an explosive volcano, but like most stratovolcanoes, it can produce both explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
Was mauna loa a quiet or explosive eruption?
No, Mauna Loa is not an explosive volcano. It tends to be non-explosive.
What is the name of explosive science?
Combustion, which is part of thermodynamics.
Is explosive a physical change?
By explosion, you mean combustion I presume. Because combustion is a type of reaction, explosions are chemical changes.
What is the process of the burning of gasoline in car engines?
The process is one of explosive combustion.
Are exhaust fumes explosive?
If Car exhaust fumes are mixed with any other gases it can be explosive.Answer:The exhaust from a combustion process generally have all of the combustible materials used up to form carbon dioxide and water. Neither of these are explosive. Like ashes from a fire (which are not combustible) gases of combustion are not explosive.
Why oxygen is not explosive?
Oxygen in and of itself is not flammable. Rather it supports the combustion of flammable materials.
Is magnesium sulfate explosive?
magnesium is highly flammable, so magnesium is explosive
Is engine oil combustible?
The previous answer was obscene and irrelevant. I removed it. Engine oil is combustible (i.e., flammable), whether it's new or old and dirty. It is a liquid petroleum product, and as such it's flammable. But if you mean combustible as in the term, "internal combustion engine", it is not a suitable fuel. In an internal-combustion engine, the rate of burn must be very rapid, or "explosive". Engine oil is not explosive under normal pressures. However, if pressure were very high, and if the motor oil were sprayed in tiny droplets into an oxygen-rich environment, it could become explosive enough to serve as a fuel for an internal combustion engine.
Is pressurized oxygen combustible?
Oxygen is neither combustible nor explosive, it is merely the chemical needed for combustion to take place. As such, the higher the concentration of oxygen, the higher the rate of combustion, provided that combustible material is present.
What are the most common explosive items?
Believe it or not, it is matches. Of course this is the most common explosive everyday item. Matches uses sulfur and phosphorus and both those elements have the chemical property: combustion. In terms of arms, guns and grenades are. :) happy to help
How does combustion chamber size effect an engine?
if you make the combustion chamber smaller for example by shaving the heads when the sparkplugs ignites , the piston will get pushed down harder there for make your engine go faster .In short, reducing the combustion chamber size increases the combustion ratio which increasing the explosive force of the air fuel mixture when it burns. The negative side of this is fuel with a higher octane rating will have to be used to run the engine.
What is an external combustion engine?
An external combustion engine is one in which the oxidation of the fuel occurs outside the engine, which provides heat to the motive portion of the engine. External combustion is characterized by burning the fuel outside of the moving parts, as opposed to burning fuel inside the cylinders of an internal combustion engine. The Steam engine, using steam pressure, is an example of external combustion, as in the "Stanley Steamer," an early motorcar; and in steamships The combustion is in the boiler, not in the cylinders that convert steam pressure and volume to mechanical work. Internal combustion engines include diesel and gasoline vehicles (explosive fuel mixes), gas turbines, and most jet aircraft engines.
Can nutmeg be used in an explosive?
Any powdered organic material, when mixed with large volumes of air, CAN explode. It is very rapid combustion. In 2008, anexplosion was triggered by powdered sugar that killed 14 people and injured 36. However, as an explosives engineer, nutmeg would not be my first choice for an explosive.
