There are various ways that a fire can be started without using a flame. Many chemical reactions produce enough heat to start a fire. One example is the mixture popularly known as "negative x". This mixture, which consists of ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate, and zinc powder, will burn when exposed to a drop of water.
It is an element, and can be found on the Periodic Table as Al.
This is an incendiary mixture. If ignited, it is quite dangerous. It is used for extreme high temperature welding, and is known as thermite.
A mixture of pins and toothpicks is a heterogeneous mixture known as suspension.
the reaction of iron(iii)oxide (Fe2O3) with alumimium is used to join the railway tracks or cracked machine parts. the reaction is known as ALUMINO THERMIT PROCESS. REACTION :- Fe2o3(s)+2Al(s) --> 2Fe(l)+Al2O3(s)+Heat -by kartikcool.cool@gmail.com
Black powder, also known as gunpowder, is a mixture of saltpeter (potassium nitrate), sulfur, and charcoal (carbon).
The mixture is black powder more commonly known as gunpowder. The particular ingredients you mention are for black powder a common explosive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder
Gunpowder, also known as black powder, is traditionally composed of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate (saltpeter). The mixture creates a highly combustible substance that, when ignited, rapidly releases gases, producing the explosive force necessary to propel projectiles from firearms.
Many people confuse gunpowder and black powder. Both of them are mixtures, although gunpowder, also known as smokeless powder, was 100% nitrocellulose, a compound, when it was first used in the mid 1800's. Black powder is a very intimate mixture of potassium nitrate, sulfur and charcoal. Smokeless powders today get their energy when burned from 100% nitrocellulose to mostly nitroglycerine. Most smokeless powders obtain their energy from a mixture of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine. However, even smokeless powders made today with pure nitrocellulose are still a mixture because manufacturers add other compounds to the powder to reduce the muzzle flash, stabilize the burning rate, slow the decomposition of the powder and to neutralize any corrosive acids formed from the powder's decomposition.
Potassium nitrate (KNO3) is the chemical name for the compound also known as saltpeter, which is one of the major ingredients of black powder (the other major ingredients being carbon, generally charcoal, and sulphur).
Black powder, the original form of gunpowder, was made from a combination of potassium nitrate (also known as saltpeter), charcoal, and sulfur in a 15:3:2 ratio.

Gallium was named eka-aluminium by Mendeleev.

The standard name of this compound is Nitrogen(II) Oxide. It is generally known as nitric oxide.
Yes, firearms used to use black powder as the primary propellant for ammunition. Black powder, also known as gunpowder, was the earliest form of explosive propellant. It consisted of a mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate, and it was commonly used in firearms until the development of smokeless powder in the late 19th century.
