Cellulose nitrate, also known as nitrocellulose, is a highly flammable compound derived from cellulose. It is commonly used in explosive materials, lacquers, and as a film base in early Photography. Due to its explosive nature, it is generally handled with caution and stored in a safe manner.
What else can I help you with?
Does silver nitrate react with wood?
Silver nitrate can react with wood, particularly with the cellulose content, to form silver particles embedded within the wood fibers. This reaction is often used in wood preservation and staining techniques to create unique visual effects. It is important to note that this reaction can be influenced by the concentration of silver nitrate and the type of wood being used.
What is the substrate for nitrate reductase?
The substrate for nitrate reductase is nitrate (NO3-). Nitrate reductase catalyzes the reduction of nitrate to nitrite (NO2-) during the process of nitrate assimilation in plants and microorganisms.
What is the chemical difference between celluloid and cellophane?
Celluloid is a synthetic polymer made from cellulose nitrate, while cellophane is a thin, transparent film made from regenerated cellulose. The main difference lies in their chemical composition, with celluloid being more flammable and prone to deterioration over time compared to cellophane.
NAME OF KNO3?
KNO3 is the chemical formula of potassium nitrate.
What is a cellulose sponge made of?
A cellulose sponge is made of, well, cellulose. Cellulose is the main component of plant cell walls, so many plant derived products are cellulose based. Wood is about 50% cellulose, paper and cardboard are almost entirely cellulose, and most plant fibers are mostly cellulose- cotton is about 90% cellulose. the wikipedia article is decent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose
What is cordite used for in weapons?
cordite is a type of smokeless gunpowder. basically cellulose nitrate.
Cels in traditional animation refers to what?
One complete scene image. I think it's short for the medium used (cellulose acetate or cellulose nitrate).
Is your grandparents us plastic bags and other plastic ware in their ages?
no plastic bags, but bakelite a hard thermoset plastic and cellulose nitrate plastic were used. note that cellulose nitrate is also known as gun cotton and burns rapidly sometimes even exploding, it was later replaced by cellulose acetate plastic.
What kind of fiber is cotton?
Cotton is a polysaccharide (which means it is a complex sugar molecule) that is commonly called cellulose. It is referred to as a "natural" fibre, but is not particularly different from a number of "synthetic" fibers such as cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate and rayon.
How is gunpowder made?
There are two different kinds of gunpowder: black powder and smokeless powder, each is made entirely differently.black powder - charcoal, potassium nitrate, and sulfur are separately ground and the resulting fine powders are blended by tumblingsmokeless powder - cellulose containing materials (e.g. cotton, wood, paper scrap) are dissolved in nitric acid making a cellulose nitrate paste; this paste is extruded to make pellets of desired size and shape; the pellets are dried (in some smokeless powder formulas other nitrate based explosive materials are added to the cellulose nitrate paste; e.g. nitroglycerin) Note: there are other smokeless powder manufacturing processes not involving extrusion, but they still make the powder from cellulose nitrate
What material is used to make x-ray film base?
the first ever base was the cellulose nitrate but it flammable that contribute to the severe hospital fires during 1920's. it was then replaced by the cellulose triacetate which was not as flammable as cellulose nitrate. in the early 1960's it base was introduced. it is more resistant to warping and is stronger than the two other bases.
What does cellulose nitrate do in fireworks?
It's commonly used to propel fireworks (such as rockets etc) skyward. It replaces the older 'gunpowder' that was used previously.

What monomer does cellulose have?
cellulose is a polymer. it a chain of repeating monomers. the monomer for cellulose is glucose. cellulose is a polymer. it a chain of repeating monomers. the monomer for cellulose is glucose.

Is cellulose a complex carbohydrate?
Cellulose is a carbohydrate.
