What happens when you smash gunpowder with a hammer?

Nothing.. Gunpowder does not impact-detonate, which is why bullets have a "primer" that will ignite the gunpowder when it is struck. Nothing.. Gunpowder does not impact-detonate, which is why bullets have a "primer" that will ignite the gunpowder when it is struck.


What do you need gunpowder for?

To ignite a reaction.


What is the flash point of gunpowder explosive?

A "flash point" is the temperature at which a LIQUID gives off a vapor that can be ignited. It is NOT the temperature at which ignition takes place. Gunpowder, being a solid, does not HAVE a flash point. It has an ignition temperature around 450 degrees F, but the exact temperature varies with the composition of the gunpowder.


Can a spark ignite gunpowder?

Yes sparks can set gunpowder off. There is a gun called a Flintlock, used mostly in the 18th and 19th centuries, it has a flint which creates a spark that ignites the gunpowder.


Could you ignite gunpowder with a piezoelectric crystal?

No, a piezoelectric crystal generates an electrical current when compressed, but it does not produce enough heat to ignite gunpowder on its own. Gunpowder ignition typically requires a small spark or flame with sufficient heat to initiate the combustion process.


What will ignite gunpowder?

Heat, flame, or a spark can ignite gunpowder, causing it to rapidly combust and release energy in the form of heat and gas. It is a highly sensitive and volatile substance that requires caution when handling or storing.


Can you spark ignite gunpowder?

Yes, gunpowder can be ignited by a spark, as it is sensitive to heat and friction. When exposed to a sufficient temperature from a spark, it undergoes rapid combustion, producing gas and heat. This property is why gunpowder is used in firearms and explosives. However, it typically requires a specific ignition source, such as a fuse or primer, for safe and effective detonation.


Is gumpowder in fireworks?

Gunpowder is used in artillery and roman candles. In artillery shells, there is a container of gunpowder that shoots the shell into the air and when the time burns to the inside of the shell, there is gunpowder inside that ignites the stars. In roman candles, gunpowder is placed underneath each of the stars in the tube to ignite and shoot them into the air. A long fus eis placed inside the tube to ignite the sections one after another. Some rockets have artillery shells on them without the gunpowder container on the bottom.


What temperature does jet fuel ignite?

It is enough for a spark to ignite any fuel.


How does gunpowder ignite?

Gunpowder ignites when it is exposed to a heat source, such as a spark or flame, which raises its temperature to the point of combustion. The heat causes the potassium nitrate (an oxidizer) to release oxygen, allowing the carbon and sulfur in the gunpowder to combust rapidly. This rapid oxidation produces a large volume of hot gas and heat, resulting in an explosive reaction. The ignition can be initiated by a fuse, primer, or other means of delivering heat.


What temperature does it take to ignite ammonia?

Ammonia does not ignite easily at normal temperatures. To ignite ammonia gas, you typically need a temperature of around 651 degrees Celsius (1204 degrees Fahrenheit).


What temperature does natural gas ignite?

Natural gas ignites at a temperature of around 1,076 degrees Fahrenheit.
