Magnesium powder has a larger surface area than a chunk of magnesium. Therefore it will burn faster. Increasing the surface area of a substance leads to an increase in reaction time. This can be demonstrated easily using alka seltzer tablets. A crushed alka seltzer tablet will dissolve quicker than a full tablet (remember to stir.)
Smaller mass burns faster than a big mass. Charcoal block is one big body, but charcoal powder is alot of small bodies, they spread the heat faster because every single little piece burns faster.
It's because the particle size is smaller, therefore more oxygen is available to the substance.
Charcoal burns to produce CO2. It causes ozone depletion.
The acid burns the limestone because of limestone being a compressed powder
Carbon dioxide and water vapours; also sulfur and nitrogen oxides.
fireworks normally consist of a fuel that burns (such as charcoal), a colorant that colors the fire (like strontium) and an oxidizer that makes everything burn faster (such as potassium nitrate). the colorant can be skipped if no color is desired. this is a very simplified version. depending on what you want the firework to do different chemicals need to be added in different ways to produce different effects. hope this helps.
Burning charcoal is spontaneous, but not at room temperature. To start the combustion energy must be added (in the form of heat). Once the temperature of the charcoal reaches a certain temperature it reacts exothermically and releases heat. This heat of reaction is sufficient to locally heat more charcoal so that it burns continuously.
Well not by themselves. Charcoal and sugar are both fuel, but they will not light fast enough without something added. The magic ingredient in explosive powders such as gunpowder is often an oxidizer (Potassium nitrate-KNO3 most oftenly used). To make an explosive powder, you would want to grind the charcoal and/or sugar with the KNO3 into a fine powder. The finer the powder, the better it is mixed. The better it is mixed, the faster it burns. The faster it burns, the more explosive it is.
Match Lite charcoal lights quickly and burns good.

Wood is burned at high temperature with a lack of oxygen to create charcoal.
Charcoal burns to produce CO2. It causes ozone depletion.
Charcoal burns with a smokeless flame. Hence, it is used as domestic fuel.
Charcoal burns quite well as a fuel, it just needs an air supply
there are several typed of powder the most common are black powder and smokeless powder. black powder is very corrosive and burns slower com paired to smokeless and just by the name there acepinaly more smoke were as smokeless gun powder is stronger and faster and cleaner.
Pass me the charcoal please.I enjoy a charcoal barbecue in the summer.
Different charcoal burns faster or slower, which can be important for different types of meat. Also, different types of briquets add unique flavors to the food.
It makes food taste good.. it burns clean and still gives a nice grilled flavor to foods.. it is a lot different from charcoal though..it cooks food faster as well
cotton burns the fastest while polyester burns the slowest
