Strotium
Strontium is the element that turns a flame carmine red when it is burned. When strontium is present in a flame, it imparts its characteristic red color due to the emission of specific wavelengths of light.
More of a formulation than a formula, Strontium Nitrate is a weak oxidizer and responsible for the red color of flame, Potassium Nitrate is a strong oxidizer and also burns with a red flame, and potassium perchlorate is a strong oxidizer and burns with red flame. The fuels used in a road flare are sulfur, charcoal,sawdust, aluminum powder and magnesium powder. The proportions of the various fuels and oxidizers vary with different manufacturers. Also note that aluminum powder and magnesium powders are used to brighten the flames and sawdust subdues the flame and prolongs the burn. The compositions are similar to black powder (gunpowder).
Car tires are made up of a combination of elements, including rubber, carbon black, and various chemical additives. The main component of tires is rubber, which is a polymer made from molecules containing mostly carbon and hydrogen atoms. These elements provide tires with their elasticity, durability, and grip on the road.
Off-road diesel weighs approximately 7.1 pounds per gallon.
Magnesium is a very flammable metal when heated to its flash point. Once it starts to burn, it is nearly impossible to extinguish, hence its use in magnesium road flares. It can be safely used in some alloys, but the cost is prohibitive.
Road flares are commonly used by civilians for signals and may be ignited on the ground or fired as an aerial signal from a pistol-like flare gun or launched from a self-contained tube.
Flares? Like as in road flares? or Flare guns? Flares as in the signaling devices that burn super hot and emit a blinding light usually used to signal a distress signal of some sort? I would have to think that it really wouldn't be a good idea if flares were allowed in football games.

Z71 is what GM calls their off road off road package. It changes from year to year. It includes heavy duty shocks, and suspension parts. If may include fender flares, tow hook, and skid plate. Depends on the year.
A person who wants to be safe on the road should carry an emergency road case in their trunk. The emergency road case should contain at least a cell phone, jumper cables, a flashlight, road flares, MREs, warm blankets, ice scrapers, first aid kid, water bottles, tow straps, a folding shovel, a LifeHammer, and a portable air compressor.
Make sure that your vehicle is pulled safely from the side of the road. Put out safety flares as well and make sure you are visible to other drivers.
On a UK Ordnance Survey map, a main 'A' road (trunk road, etc) is often shown in red.
No. The only difference is a red dye added to off-road diesel to denote non-taxable use.
Phosphorus is solid at room temperature. That said, phosphorus is an element that can take different solid forms, depending upon how it was prepared and other factors. These different forms are called "allotropes".So a room temperature sample of phosphorus could be the common red phosphorus, used to make matches and road flares; the poisonous waxy white phosphorus, which is used to make incendiary bombs; or the rare purple/black phosphorus. You can see pictures of all three allotropes by googling "phosphorus".
Pretty often. They always need money!
