What is the difference between black powder and flash powder?
Black powder is a traditional gunpowder made from a mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate. Flash powder is a more modern pyrotechnic composition that produces a bright flash of light and a loud noise when ignited, typically composed of a fine fuel powder and a strong oxidizer. Flash powder is more powerful and volatile than black powder.
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).
What is the black powder formed on copper powder in an experiment?
The black powder formed on copper powder in an experiment is likely copper oxide. When copper is exposed to air, it can react with oxygen to form copper oxide, which appears as a black powder. This is a common reaction observed with metals that are prone to oxidation.

What black powder or black powder substitute would be best to propell fireworks?
Larger grain black powder, such a fG or ffG. Black powder substitutes, such as Pyrodex are not intended for use in propelling fireworks. Pyrodex R could be tried- rmember it is measured not by weight, but by volume.
Gun powder what is it?
The two common forms are black powder, and smokeless powder. Both are low explosives, used to propel a bullet. While they arer different chemically, both contain a fuel and an oxidizer mixed together. When ignited, they burn very quickly, producing rapidly expanding gasses (which is what propels the bullet)
Is German black head an oxidizer?

What is the grey powder coating in a sparkler?
The grey powder coating on a sparkler is typically made of a mixture of fuel and an oxidizer. The fuel provides the material that burns and produces the spark, while the oxidizer supplies the oxygen needed for combustion. Additionally, the grey coating may also contain metal powders or salts to create colorful sparks when ignited.
How much does flash powder cost?
You cannot buy flash powder online or at any other store - that would be like buying C4 over the Internet. You would need to make it yourself from an oxidizer and aluminum or magnesium powder.
