Writer three interesting facts you found
Flammable solids react with water, which further produces even highly flammable. This is interesting because my expectation is that water should reduce the flammability of the solids.
It was also interesting to see how the volatile liquids changes faster to vapor with subsequent evaporation as compared to the normal liquids I know of like water
I also learnt that even though molecules always stay in touch with one another, they can still move freely amongst each other.
In the video which material burns away faster?
The nitrocellulose burns away faster
When calculating combustion efficiency and estimating flame temperature the combustion is used. on a separate sheet of paper, write out the combustion reaction for cellulose and nitrocellulose in air assuming cellulose is C6H10O5 and nitrocellulose is approximated as C6H10O5(NO2)3
C6H10O5 + 6O2 ===> 6CO2 + 5H2O
C6H10O5(NO2)3 + 4O2 ===> 6CO2 + 5H2O + NO2
How much air is needed to completely combust the nitrocellulose compared with the cellulose in terms of moles
As compared to nitrocellulose which only need 4 moles of oxygen molecules, the cellulose needs 6 moles of oxygen.
