Fire is the chemical reaction of combustion which is the reaction of a substance with oxygen. The rate of the reaction can be increased by providing more surface area for the reaction to occur and nanoparticles have a lot of surface.

Do nanoparticles have colors?

We cant really see nanoparticles to tell if they have colours, some do depending on what they are made from, but more commonly we see nanoparticles as a suspension in water, ethanol or some other solvent. These solutions can give rise to some intense colours, this is due to raylaigh scattering that takes place from the nanoparticles. A phemonon called surface plasmon resonance also has a part to play in the colours that we see for colloidal nanoparticles.


What is precipitation synthesis method?

Precipitation synthesis is a method used to produce nanoparticles by mixing two precursor solutions to induce a chemical reaction that forms solid particles. The reaction results in supersaturation of one or more components, causing the formation of nanoparticles which are then collected by precipitation. This method is commonly used to produce nanoparticles with controlled size, shape, and composition.


Why do nanoparticles move differently to larger particles?

Nanoparticles have a higher surface-area-to-volume ratio, making them more prone to surface interactions, such as adhesion and attraction, which can affect their movement. Additionally, nanoparticles experience more Brownian motion due to their smaller size, causing them to exhibit different diffusion behaviors compared to larger particles.


Why are nanoparticles used?

Because they give us an advantage and we can make things that we probably thought wouldn't be possible before. Nanoparticles can be used to make cameras the size of a dust particle which can be used medically to check inside people and see what is going on for example. Nanoparticles also have many more purposes but there are some risks in using them and we aren't aware of all of them.


What do nanoparticles do in mascara?

Get people to pay more. It's just a marketing gimmick."Nanoparticles" means, basically, "really really small bits." So a company advertising that their mascara has "nanoparticles" is really just saying "we powdered up the black stuff in our mascara really fine, so you won't have clumps of it the size of peas hanging off your eyelashes." While I suppose this is better than the alternative, the nanoparticles really don't do much of anything, other than (presumably) not form clumps large enough to be seen.(Soot, from a candle flame? That's pretty much ALL nanoparticles. So it's not like this is some exotic space-age material.)

What makes land more likely to catch fire?

Land is most likely to catch fire if it is dry, with an extremely high percentage of organic matter, such as peat.


Difference between catch fire and catch ON fire?

Catch fire is a fictional term used in anime, and anime movies. Catch Fire means to catch fire, for example, you would catch a ball. Catching ON fire is lighting yourself on fire, or something else lighting you on fire. Big difference.


Which one is more easy to catch fire straws or wood?

It is very interesting to find out that straws are actually more easily to catch fire than wood...!


If a power line falls will it start a fire?

It depends on many factors. One factor is that if the area has wood, grass, or anything flammable, it may go up in flames. Also, it depends on the humidity. If the area is more dry, it is more likely to catch fire. The reason it would catch fire is because the electricity would be able to catch flame. If it is humid, then the air will have a lot of water in it and most likely dampen the flame. Also, it needs a piece of wood or even just brush to light the spark and make the flame. Hope this helps.

you don't catch them you have to recruite them. try to kill them on the 2nd hit and you are more likely to recruite them. you don't catch them you have to recruite them. try to kill them on the 2nd hit and you are more likely to recruite them.


What is the difference between safety matches and friction matches?

friction matches can catch on fire like rapid fire and safety matches are more safe and secure


Can green grass catch fire?

Yes, green grass can catch fire, although it is less likely to ignite compared to dry grass due to its higher moisture content. However, during extremely dry conditions or prolonged heat, even green grass can become sufficiently dry to burn. Additionally, if exposed to a strong enough ignition source, such as a spark or flame, it can catch fire. Overall, while green grass is more resistant to fire, it is not entirely fireproof.

Are ghosts flammable?

No, their just energy. If you tried to set a ghost on fire it would just more than likely set the rest of your house on fire. How bout you try blessing you home or where ever the ghost is. If you are more dominant then the ghost (if it is a spirit and not a demon) then it would more then likely go away. Its your place, take control.


Why are silver nanoparticles more effective than normal sized silver particles?

Silver nanoparticles have a larger surface area compared to normal sized silver particles, which allows for increased interaction with microbes. This leads to better antimicrobial activity due to the silver nanoparticles being able to release more silver ions. Additionally, the smaller size of nanoparticles enables them to penetrate cell walls more easily, enhancing their effectiveness in killing bacteria and other pathogens.
