When a small piece of potassium is dropped into a beaker of water the potassium moves about rapidly and then ignites within secounds the metal is gone and all activity ceases Is that chemical change?
Yes, according to wikipedia: Potassium reacts very violently with water producing potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas.2 K (s) + 2 H2O (l) → 2 KOH (aq) + H2 (g) This is a chemical change.
Is sodium reacting with water a physical change?
Freshly cut sodium has a metallic sheen. Within a few minutes, water in the air causes a layer of sodium hydroxide to develop on exposed surfaces. The reaction is strongly exothermic and the heat transferred to the local environment ignites the hydrogen that is produced. The hydrogen burns with a bright flame. In other words, sodium reacting with water is a chemical change and NOT a physical change. (combustion) Chemical changes such as combustion form new substances. 2 Na + 2 H2O > 2 NaOH + H2
What element is found in head of safety matches?
The match head contains sulpur and an oxidising agent and they have to be struck against a special surface to make the flame. The special surface contains sand, red phosphorus and a binder. When the match is struck, friction is gererated as a form of heat and the red phosphorus turns to a white phosphorus vapour which ignites spontaneously on contact with oxygen in air. The sulphur starts to burn and ignites the match stick
How is sulfur used in matchmaking?
Sulfur is commonly used in the production of matches to create the igniting tip on matchsticks. The presence of sulfur ensures that the match ignites when struck against a rough surface, triggering a chemical reaction that produces a flame.
What temperature does gunpowder ignite?
Gunpowder will ignite somewhere between 300 to 350° C
Is white phosphorous ignites easily a chemical or physical property?
chemical
A match head ignites when struck Is this a chemical property?
Yes, the match head igniting when struck is a chemical property. It involves the chemical reaction between the match head and the striking surface that produces heat, leading to ignition.
Is White phosphorous ignites easily a physical change?
Yes, white phosphorus igniting is a physical change because it involves a change in the physical state of the substance (from solid to gas) without altering its chemical composition.
Is lighting a matchstick physical?
Yes, lighting a matchstick is a physical action that involves striking the match head against a rough surface to produce friction and heat, which ignites the match.
Is white phosphorous ignites easily a chemical property?
Yes, because a new compound (a new type of molecule, with another chemical composition) is obtained.
When a small piece of potassium metal is dropped into a breaker of water the potassium moves about rapidly and then ignites within seconds the metal is gone and all activity ceases this is and example?
It is an example of a chemical reaction
What happens when sodium is dropped in cold water?
it grabs electrons from hydrogen and forms H2 which ignites to explode'
Is a match ignites to form ash and mixture of gases a physical or chemical changes?
The process of a match igniting to form ash and a mixture of gases involves a chemical change. This is because there is a chemical reaction taking place when the match combusts, converting the matchstick's materials into new substances like ash and gases.
Striking a match chemical or physical?
Physical properties of the match would include thing such as its state, colour, odour, density and solubility. Chemical changes in the match would be such things at its ability to burn and the chemical changes of when the match is lit and there becomes a flame. Hope this helps a bit :)
What is photophores?
Photophor is the trade name for the chemical "Calcium Phosphide".On contact with acids or water, Calcium Phosphide,ignites spontan.This chemical is used for incendiary bombs and fireworks.
Is it a chemical change when a safety match ignites and burns?
Antimony trisulfide and sulfur provide the fuel for the match, which is ignited by a combination of red phosphorus (on the matchbook) and potassium perchlorate (coating the match). When friction heats the red phosphorus, some becomes white phosphorus and reacts with the perchlorate. This is sufficient to ignite the trisulfide and sulfur.
When a spark ignites the mixture of gas and fuel in a four stroke engine stored chemical energy is converted to blank energy?
When a spark ignites the mixture of gas and fuel in a four-stroke engine, stored chemical energy is converted to thermal energy, which causes the gas and fuel mixture to burn and expand rapidly, generating mechanical energy that powers the engine.
