Can you strike a safety match on glass?

Yes! Safety matches contain sulfur, an oxidizing agent, and powdered glass (along with wood and glue etc.) and the strike-on-box strip contains powdered glass or silica sand and red phosphorous (and glue etc.). The friction of the glass on the match head with the glass in the strip is enough to ignite the red phosphorous which does a whiz-bang reaction which lights the match. While striking on a window isn't as easy because it doesn't have the added phosphorous whiz-bang, it's still possible for the glass-on-glass friction to provide enough heat to light the match anyway. You can see it on youtube or try it yourself (just make sure to rub out the marks on the glass & keep things safe).

well if is not supported then is not a theory.


What are the different types of strike?

There are several types of strikes, including: General Strike: A widespread strike that involves a large number of workers across multiple industries, often aimed at achieving broad social or political goals. Wildcat Strike: A strike initiated by workers without union authorization, typically occurring spontaneously in response to grievances. Sympathy Strike: A strike by workers in support of another group of workers who are on strike, often to show solidarity. Sit-down Strike: Workers occupy their workplace and refuse to work or leave, effectively halting operations while maintaining control of the space.


What reaction happens when we ignite a match stick?

That depends on whether you are considering the work done to overcome the force of static friction between the match head and the striking paper. Other than that, as I understand it, after you have heated part of the chemical compound on the match head sufficiently so that it combusts, the heat it outputs then affects the chemicals in close proximity heating them to the point of combustion. I'm not sure you could consider that chemical reaction to be work done, but you could argue it outputs energy.

What was the short term significance of the match girls strike 1888?

For the match girls themselves, the strike led to better working conditions, to direct access to the management in case of complaints and to better work hazard awareness. In a time when women's rights - in the workplace or elsewhere - were practically non-existent, the result of this all-female strike was seen as a stunning victory.

Why match burning a fast reaction?

the friction of the match causes the chemicals inside the match head to ignite...in cause as long as there is oxygen in the room the match will light as quick as you strike the match....in other words...the match only lights as fast as you can strike it

What is the source of activation energy that ignites a strike-anywhere match?

The source of activation energy that ignites a strike-anywhere match is friction between the match head and the matchbox, which creates enough heat to ignite the match head. When you strike the match against the rough surface on the matchbox, the friction generates heat that is sufficient to initiate the chemical reaction in the match head, leading to ignition.
