gunpowder
Oh, dude, gunpowder is like a party mix of ingredients. It's got charcoal to keep things burning, sulfur to add that stinky touch, and potassium nitrate to bring the boom. Mix them all together, and you've got yourself a recipe for some explosive fun!
Gunpowder is typically made of a combination of charcoal, sulfur, and potassium nitrate (also known as saltpeter). These three components are mixed together to create a chemical reaction that produces the explosive force when ignited.
When you mix oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen, you are likely to get a mixture of gases that may include nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and potentially other nitrogen and sulfur compounds depending on the specific conditions of the experiment. These gases can have various chemical properties and potential environmental implications.
An iron and sulfur mix is called iron sulfide, which is also known as ferrous sulfide or iron (II) sulfide.
Charcoal is primarily composed of carbon and can contain small amounts of minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium. These minerals are often present in the form of impurities from the source material used to make the charcoal.
the percentages changed in saltpetre and sulfur plus charcoal. according to Jacob Gogan
Originally, gunpowder (black powder) was a mix of charcoal, sulfur, and saltpetre (sodium nitrate). Modern day smokeless gunpowder can have several different formulations, but most are based on a mix of nitrocelluose and nitroglycerin.
Black powder <><><> At the time of the American revolution, the only gunpowder in existence was black powder- a mix of charcoal, sulfur, and saltpetre. Other gun powders (smokeless, cordite, etc) were invented in the late 1800s.
The mixture is called gunpowder, which is commonly used as a propellant in firearms and fireworks. It consists of sulfur to reduce ignition temperature, charcoal as a fuel, and saltpeter (potassium nitrate) as an oxidizer.
The 3 components of gunpowder are, Charcoal, Sulphur, and Saltpetre
The original gunpowder (black powder) is a mix of charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter.
Mostly saltpetre is used as gun powder for filling guns. During the industrial revolution , it was a very important import material for England. ********** The original gunpowder- Black Powder, is a mixture of charcoal, sulfur and saltpetre. Present day smokeless powder is based on guncotton (nitrocellulose) and/or nitroglycerin.
Most charcoal does contain sulfur. There are limit on how much sulfur commercial charcoal can contain. Pure carbon is an element and thus contains no sulfur (another element) but charcoal which is predominatly carbon is made from vegetable matter (wood, heated in anerobic (no oxygen) environment). As such there are "impurities" which remain in the charcoal.
Black powder consists of potassium nitrate (saltpeter), charcoal, and sulfur in specific ratios. Potassium nitrate serves as the oxidizer, charcoal provides fuel, and sulfur helps with ignition and combustion. These ingredients, when mixed together, create a combustible mixture used in fireworks and firearms.
To create a firearm in Doodle God, you mix weapons + gun powder and that makes a firearm. To get gun powder, you mix Saltpetre + Sulfur and that makes gun powder. To get weapons, you mix tools with metal and that makes weapons. THX for reading!!!!!
One way to separate sulfur from charcoal is through sublimation. Heat the mixture in a container where sulfur can vaporize and then condense on a cooler surface, separate from the charcoal. This method takes advantage of the difference in sublimation temperatures between sulfur and charcoal.
BLACK powder is a mixture of charcoal, sulfur, and saltpetre, with other things added to keep it from clumping, improve water resistance, etc.SMOKELESS powder (modern gunpowder) is based on nitroglycerin and nitrocellulose, with other additives.
