What material provides the oxygen necessary to the combustion of the charcoal?
Oxidizers provide the oxygen neccesary for the combustion of charcoal. Oxidizers are common in the use of propellants, especially for rockets where there is an environment that has zero atomsphere present. An oxidizer is a type of chemical which a fuel requires to burn. Most types of burning on Earth use oxygen, which is prevalent in the atmosphere. However in space there is no atmosphere to provide oxygen or other oxidizers so rockets need to carry up their own oxidizers. Usually, they are carried in a different tank than the fuel and released in the proper proportion with the fuel when the rocket is fired.
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.
Is a Stratovolcano an explosive volcano?
Yes. Stratovolcanoes usually alternate between explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
Will nitric acid explode?
Nitric acid is strong oxidizer, so if it is mixed with a right fuel it can be possible of denotation. The salts it may form can also be strong oxidizers. However, nitric acid itself is not explosive.
How are nitrogen and sulfur oxidizers?
Nitrogen and sulfur are good oxidizers probably because of their valence electron numbers.
What does potassium chlorate produce if it decomposes?
Potassium Chlorate does not decompose on its own, it needs to be mixed with other compounds in order for it to decompose, however this is very dangerous because the mixture is very explosive and very sensitive, which means if you accidentally stepped on it or impacted it , it will go off giving you some serious injuries. If you ever worked in a lab or if you have ever seen the Potassium Chlorate bottles, they are usually written "Mixing with Oxidizers may be explosive" sometimes it just says "Do not mix with oxidizers" these are the warnings you would get on the label or MSDS sheets.
Is a halogen gas that is yellow and explosive?
Fluorine is a pale yellow gas and very reactive. Chlorine is a pale green - which could look yellow depending on the lighting. it too is highly reactive. Of the two, you would probably be looking for fluorine as the best answer.
Is methane harmful in any way?
Methane is extremely flammable and may form explosive mixtures with air. Methane is violently reactive with oxidizers, halogens, and some halogen-containing compounds. Methane is also an asphyxiant and may displace oxygen in an enclosed space.
What hazard class do oxidizers belong?
Class 5
What is class 5.1 poisonous?
Division 5.1 contains oxidizers.
What type of hazard are Flammables oxidizers and compressed gases?
Physical
What are the component of modern fireworks?
Modern fireworks are made of paper, oxidizers, metals, fuels, and reducing agents. The different oxidizers in the firework make the different colors people see in the sky.
What do iodine chlorine and bromine have in common?
They all are Halogens and good oxidizers
Will peroxide remove rust?
No, peroxides are strong oxidizers and will actually cause rust.
Why does acid build up on battery posts?
it's not acid... it is corrosion and oxidizers
