Why do potassium nitrate charcoal and sulfur become explosive after they are ground together?
As potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur are ground together, the increased surface area and intimate mixing of the particles allow for more rapid and efficient chemical reactions to occur. This can lead to the formation of small, high-pressure pockets of gas which, when ignited, can cause a rapid release of energy, resulting in an explosion.
Why do you think potassium nitrate charcoal and sulfur become explosive after they are ground together?
The reactants are all solids at standard temperature and pressure and therefore can initially react with one another only at the surfaces of the particles in which each reagent is present. Grinding greater increases the surface area of each reaction, thereby facility quick reaction of the entire supply of each reagent.
Chemical formula of gunpowder?
The chemical formula of gunpowder is typically written as KNO3 + S + C. This reflects the combination of potassium nitrate (saltpeter), sulfur, and carbon that make up the primary components of gunpowder.
How are the components of gunpowder separated?
Gunpowder is a mixture of nitre (potassium nitrate) , sulphur and charcoal Name of the method- filteration , evaporation and solvent extraction. Steps- 1) Put the constituents in water. nitre will dissolve in water. 2) Filter the soln. Filterate- water+nitre Residue - sulphur+charcoal 3) Perform evaporation on the filterate. Water will evaporate leaving nitre. Solvent extraction- 4) Put the residue in carbon disulphide. Sulphur will dissolve in this soln. 5) Filter the soln. Filterate-carbon disulphide+sulphur Residue- charcoal 6) Perform evaporation on the filterate. carbon disulphide evaporates leaving sulphur.
What is better coal or charcoal?
Depends on what you want to do with them. Coal can be heated in coke ovens to liberate various gases that can be used industrially. e.g. sulphur dioxide, methane etx, thre solid product is coke and impure form oc carbon, which can be used for heating. Charcoal is baked wood. again an impure form of carbon, and was used , historically, to smelt metal ores to release the metals. Artistically, it is a very good material for charcoal sketching, or 'ground dimensions for oil painting.

What are reasons that one should consider a charcoal water filter?
A charcoal or carbon water filter is among the most popular types of water filtration. The reason for this is because charcoal in nature operates as a filtration system for ground water. It naturally removed particles and contaminants without adding a distinctly chemical taste.
