Why is there a danger of explosions in places such as silos and coal mines where there are large quantities of powdered combustible materials?

- because the large quantities of the powdered and combustible materials incluse two factors of increasing the reaction rate, which are more surface areas and high concentration.
- And also in such these places the tempreture is high more often, so it will lead to more collision between particles and speeding up the reaction rate as well.
- And the final reaction will be as an exothermic, so the energy will be released in the form of eplosion and flames.

Difference between gypsum bonded and phosphate bonded investment materials?
gypsum bonded materials are available in powder and liquids form. they consist of mixtures of silica and calcium sulphate hemihydrate [gypsum product] and some minor components such as powdered graphite and powdered copper and some modifiers to control setting time. silica bonded materials are composed of powered quartz and cristobelite and silica gel, magnesium oxide for maintaining pH. on heating silica gel converts into silica.
What do you get when powdered quartz and powdered limestone are soda are mixed?
This looks to me like a recipe for making glass (you would have to melt them).
What is powdered limestone?
Powdered limestone is commonly referred to as lime, the result of crushing limestone rock.
How do you determine a mineral’s streak?
The color of a mineral in powdered form is called the mineral's Streak
Is iron filings and powdered sulfur a homogeneous mixture?
No, the mixture of powdered sulfur and iron filling are not a homogenous mixture, they are a heterogenous mixture.
Why does bottles of powdered metals reads explosion possible?
Many common powders made in industry are combustible; particularly metals or organic materials such as flour. Since powders have a very high surface area, they can combust with explosive force once ignited. Facilities such as flour mills can be vulnerable to such explosions without proper dust mitigation efforts. Some metals become especially dangerous in powdered form, notably titanium.
What is combined powdered?
You think probable to amixture of powdered materials.
Why it is more difficult to burn some combustible substances than others?
There are many variables which affect the ease of combustion. The degree of mixing with the air is a very large factor. Powdered coal dust in air will ignite explosively, while lumps of coal are much harder to ignite. Different compounds have different activation energies for combustion and there require different temperatures to ignite. Sometimes combustible materials are mixed with non-combustible materials which also makes them harder to burn; for example, dry paper burns quite well, but wet paper is very difficult to burn.
Why is coal pulverized?
Combustion is a surface process, and results from heating of the solid material. Coal is pulverized so as to give a greater surface to volume ratio, and thus burn more readily.Indeed powdered materials will sometimes combust explosively, such as explosions in flour mills.
What are the differences between combustible and non combustible dust?
Combustible Dusts have a KST value of Greater Than Zero, and can cause a Week to Very Strong Explosion... (Powdered Milk, Sugar, Coal, Wood, Plastic, Food/organic, Aluminum, Zirconium). Non-Combustible Dust, have a KST Value of Zero, and Don't cause an Explosion: Non-Combustible Dusts: Aggregates, such as stone, silica(sand), Silicates, Sulfates, Nitrates, Carbonates, Phosphates, Portland cement, Sand, Limestone.
Why do you crush rock salt?
It is more simple to dissolve or to refine powdered materials.
Is rainwater a heterogeneous or a homogeneous?
If the rain water contain powdered materials the mixture is nonhomogeneous.
What are the natural origins of the materials used in pencil?
The lead in a pencil is mostly a mixture of powdered graphite and clay.
What is the function of a ladle in laboratory?
A ladle is used in laboratry to transfer small amounts af powdered or granular materials.
What kind of physical filter are used?
Filters from paper, ceramics, glass, textiles, plastics, powdered or granulated materials, active carbon, etc.
Is rainwater a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
If the rain water contain powdered materials the mixture is nonhomogeneous.
