What element turns the flame carmine red?

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.


What is a road flares chemical formula?

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).

Why do you not use magnesium to make car bodies?

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.

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.

What is the state of the element phosphorous at room temp?

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".
