Fireworks use solid oxidizers within the chemical makeup of the charge. The chemical oxidizer fulfills the need for both oxygen and fuel in the fire equation. All that is needed is heat. Or just the surronding air.
What else can I help you with?
Do fireworks contain oxygen?
Yes. Every firework has oxygen in it. Fireworks require oxygen to burn, However it isn't pure oxygen. It's always in a compound such as potassium nitrate, (KNO3) potassium perchlorate, (KClO4) or potassium chlorate (KClO3)
Does oxygen create the color white in fireworks?
Oxygen itself does not create the color white in fireworks. White fireworks are produced by a combination of different chemical compounds, such as titanium or magnesium, that burn very brightly and emit white light when ignited. The presence of oxygen in the combustion process helps these compounds burn more efficiently and produce a vibrant white color.
A chemical that can release oxygen is an oxidizer?
That is correct! Oxidizers are chemicals that can release oxygen in a chemical reaction, allowing other materials to burn more readily. They are commonly used in rocket fuel and fireworks to provide the necessary oxygen for combustion.
Does oxygen come out of a pinecone when you burn it?
No. Burning a pinecone or any other flammable material will consume oxygen.
Do fireworks bother roaches?
No, unless you burn them with it or explode it on them.
Why do fireworks need chemical that contain their own oxygen?
because fireworks are big and colourful
How does putting fireworks in a tin box prevent them going off?
Putting fireworks in a tin box can help contain any potential explosions or sparks, reducing the risk of them going off accidentally. The metal box can act as a barrier to prevent external heat sources or friction from reaching the fireworks and triggering them. Additionally, the enclosed space can limit oxygen supply, which is necessary for combustion to occur.
When fire works burn they are reacting with the gas?
Most explosives don't "burn", They break down into a number of chemicals, the most common is nitrogen. It's the rapid formation of gasses from solids that causes the rapid expansion that we call an explosion.
How are fireworks a chemical change?
They burn and burning is a chemical reaction.
How does smoke come out of fireworks?
Smoke comes out of fireworks from the burned powders or chemicals within the fireworks.
Can fireworks burn pool liners?
Um yeah if the pool is empty.
If you put a match in pure oxygen will the oxygen burn?
No, oxygen itself does not burn. Oxygen only supports and accelerates combustion when there is a fuel source present. So, while the match may burn more intensely in pure oxygen, the oxygen itself does not burn.
