What is the chemical reactivity of graphite?

Graphite has an extremely low reactivity. Graphite can react with oxygen and sulfuric acid.


Why do graphite not react with oxygen at room temperature?

Graphite does not react with oxygen at room temperature because graphite has a stable structure of carbon atoms bonded to each other in layers, which makes it highly resistant to chemical reactions. The strong carbon-carbon bonds in graphite make it difficult for oxygen to break into the structure and react with the carbon atoms.


Is graphite flammable?

Graphite is not flammable because it is a form of carbon that does not easily react with oxygen to ignite or burn.


Does gallium react with oxygen?

of course not gallium does not react with oxygen you retards cuz if it did then something would happen if you would it in the air cuz oxygen is in the air


Is graphite flammable?

Only if mixed with a suitable oxidiser, most notably the air. thus a fine dispersion of graphite in the air can be ignited with explosive violence. Also whats known as "graphitic oxide" is explosive and this is formed from oxidation of graphite powder with nitric acid.

How does arsenic react to oxygen?

Arsenic does not react with oxygen in its elemental form. However, when heated, arsenic can react with oxygen in the air to form arsenic trioxide (As₂O₃), a white, odorless powder.


Does oxygen react to light acid air or water?

Oxygen does not react with air or water. Nothing actually "reacts" with light as it is not a substance. It can induce a reaction in some substance, but not oxygen. Oxygen will, however react with some acids mostly organic ones, at high temperatures.
