What is nitrogen and oxygen mixed?
It depends on the molecule's chemical formula. N2O4 is used as a rocket engine oxidizer, where N2O is Nitrous Oxide, or laughing gas. It depends on the chemical formula. It can also be called nitrogen oxide
What is the best oxidizer for black powder?
Potassium nitrate is the oxidizer used in black powder. Although other oxidizers are stronger(potassium perchlorate for example), it must not be replaced by them. If the term used is black powder, potassium nitrate is the only oxidizer that ought to be used.
Is bromine an reducing agent?
No, Bromine is mostly used as Oxidizer, but it can be also used as Reducing
What is a igniter used for?
An igniter is what starts the combustion within the rocket engine so it can take off.
What are the uses of the chlorate ion?
It is generally used as an oxidizer because it contains chlorine in +5 oxidation state.
What is oxygen difluoride used for?
It's used as an oxidizer in rocket fuel.
Can rocket fuel be used for gas turbine engines?
There are various types/combinations of rocket fuels. The most popular one is Hydrogen which was used by the Space Shuttle. But there are some hydrocarbon fuels as well that are used in rocket engines (for example RP-1 used by the Soyuz rocket). By asking specifically about rocket fuel I assume that you make the distinction between fuel and oxidizer (because a rocket engine generally uses both fuel and oxidizer in contrast with gas turbine engines who takes its oxidizer from atmospheric air). All in all, the answer is not as straight forward as you might expect: certain rocket fuels (see RP-1 like fuels) are very similar to jet fuel so they can be used as fuels in gas turbine engines. Other fuels like hydrogen or hydrazine can't be used in current gas turbine engines. But it is not impossible to have in the future gas turbine engines that uses hydrogen or some other fuels used in rocket engines.

What were the fuel oxidizer combinations used on each of the stages of the Redstone missile?
The Redstone rocket was fueled by a mixture of 25% H20 and 75% ethanol, and used liquid oxygen as the oxidizer. Redstone carried 19,000 lbs of fuel and 25,000 of oxidizer. Steam to drive the fuel and oxidizer pumps was produced by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (790 lbs of this were carried by Redstone).
What is a rocket engine used for?
The normal use is propelling a rocket.
What is the rocket engine used for?
the red rocket is used to rub for a splash of white fun. All other rocket engines are used for propulsion to gain lift.
What were the fuel oxidizer combinations used on each of the stages of the V-2 missile?
The V-2 was a single stage rocket. The single engine used 3,810 kg (8,400 lb) of 75% ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and 25% water + 4,910 kg (10,800 lb) of liquid oxygen
What is the nozzle used for on a rocket?
there are many nozzle's used on a rocket, this question does not have a specific answer.
Do you still used rocket steam engine?
no they don't
What were the fuel oxidizer combinations used on each of the stages of the Minuteman missile?
The first three stages of the Minuteman II and III missiles used acrylic acid and aluminum powder for fuel, and ammonium perchlorate as the oxidizer. The binder, composed of polybutadiene, held the solid fuel/oxidizer mixture together. The fourth stage, called the payload bus, was equipped with a restartable liquid-fueled engine and used the hypergolic propellants monomethyl hydrazine (fuel) and nitrogen tetroxide (oxidizer).
What are the benefits on rockets And what problems have rockets caused?
Rockets are typically useful as a propulsion system where there may be an issue with finding an Oxidizer to burn fuel. If you are in a place, such as in space or under water, a rocket can be used for propulsion. Rockets can have problems simply because they carry their own oxidizer with them. First of all weight. If you didn't have to carry the oxidizer, your cargo capacity could be significantly increased. Secondly, they are very complex, depending on the type of rocket. Third, they can explode, because of their complexity and because of the fact they carry their oxidizer with them. If there was no oxidizer next to the fuel and they don't mix (which is what you want for a rocket)...then no explosion. Rockets have often been called bombs with a controlled explosion on one end. Some rockets can be relatively simple..like solid rockets. They can be compact and can pack a powerful punch of thrust. This typically can be good for weapon systems..where fast speed and power are needed.
What needs To burn fuel in rocket?
You need a fuel. You need something that will react or "burn" with it. This is called an oxidizer, even though oxygen is not always what is used. You need a means of forcing the fuel into a combustion chamber. You need a combustion chamber. And you need an exhaust bell for the spent fuel to leave! Some rockets need an igniter, something to set the fuel and oxidizer off. Other rockets use "hypergolic" fuels, which means that the fuel and oxidizer go off just by coming into contact. This is good because not having an igniter means one less thing that can go wrong. The lunar module had this kind of engine. Solid rockets have the fuel and oxidizer mixed together, just waiting to be ignited. The burning fuel hollows the rocket out, forming a sort of combustion chamber.
