Gunpowder doesn't technically explode. It burns really fast and releases large amounts of gas.
The explosion effect is a product of gunpowder burning in an enclosed space that doesn't have enough strength to contain the gas cloud.
Explosives explode due to a rapid release of stored energy, often in the form of heat, light, sound, and pressure. This release of energy occurs when the chemical bonds within the explosive material are broken, causing the material to rapidly expand and generate a shock wave.
an ingredient in gunpowder is sulphur
No, gunpowder is not an acid. Gunpowder is a chemical mixture typically composed of potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur.
No, gunpowder does not get stronger after it gets wet and dries. In fact, exposure to moisture can degrade gunpowder, affecting its performance and reliability. It is important to keep gunpowder dry to maintain its effectiveness.
I went to the store to buy some gunpowder for my cannon.
explode when flamed.
It doesn't explode, it burns very fast.
Yes, in fact it does.
Gunpowder explodes when lit in a compact area because it rapidly undergoes a chemical reaction that releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and gas. The confined space prevents the expansion of gas, leading to a build-up of pressure until the surrounding container or material breaks, causing an explosive release of energy.
Once you get the gunpowder, go to the viking time with the time capsule. Go up to the cave blocked by rocks. Click on the rocks and stand back. once you click on the rocks, the gunpowder will be lit and will explode thus, the rocks going in different directions, and letting you into the cave.
no. no it does not.
You would...let me guess......EXPLODE?
it is really simple all you do is go to items and left click on the gunpowder and press use. hope that helps
It would melt. If there was gunpowder on it, then it would explode.
Cole's anger was about to explode like gunpowder.
It was trying to kill you and keeping it's gunpowder away from you.
fireworks are usually made in china, (as a lot of things are) and they are basically gunpowder, sulfate, charcoal, nitrate, fuses, and colors (to make them appear colorful) so when they are lit, the fuse burns all the way down, hits the gunpowder, and the force blows it up into the air (also causing it to, more or less, explode into colors)
