- pyrotechnics - Best ways to start a thermite reaction? - Chemistry . . .
My son did thermite reactions for a 3rd grade science project We were able to easily initiate the reactions by using commercially-available thermite "fuses" which appear to be regular fuse that is about 2 inches long which then has a small, shiny square of metal about 1 2" x 1 2" and fuse product at the bottom
- Maximum temperature attainable by thermite reaction
In the thermite reaction $$\ce{2Al(s) + Fe2O3(s) -> 2Fe(l) + Al2O3(s)}$$ what is the maximum temperature attainable by the products? Assume reactants at $25\ \mathrm{^\circ C}$ and $1\ \mathrm{atm}$ and that all heat capacities remain constant I started by using Hess's law to find the enthalpy change of the reaction
- Iron and copper oxide for thermite - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Here is a comment on the nature of the Al CuO thermite: 3 2 Nano-Aluminum CuO Thermite Reaction in TJump TOMFS A more vigorous reaction of nano-Al was probed with a thermite mixture using CuO as the oxidizer at a heating rate of ∼5 × 10^5 K s where the use of the adjective 'vigorous' does not reflect, in my opinion, the intensity of the
- Can thermite be lit while mixed into butane? If not is there a . . .
In addition to the points Stian raised, it's important to realize that thermite is very difficult to ignite The ignition temperature is very, very high, higher than you can easily get by burning ordinary fuels such as butane, which means that whatever ignition method you use, if it's hot enough to ignite the thermite, would most likely set off the butane first, rather than at the same ti
- Can I process pyroxene or olivine as a part of magnesium thermite?
Sand and magnesium burn in a thermite-like reaction and produce silicon and an oxide $$\ce{2 Mg + SiO2 -> 2 MgO + Si + \text{energy}}$$ It means that it is possible to break $\ce{Si-O}$ bonds by reduction with $\ce{Mg}$ What products can I obtain if olivine or pyroxene are burnt in the same way?
- inorganic chemistry - How is traditional thermite powder stored such . . .
Thermite powder is a heterogeneous mix and consists of fuel and oxidant, in you case aluminium $\ce{Al}$ and rust $\ce{Fe3O4}$ Separately, those can be corroded over time all right: aluminium can be oxidized and form aluminium(III) oxide, hydroxides and even some salts depending on what atmosphere thermite has been kept in
- Is it possible to make thermite that detonates? [closed]
However, thermite is a mixture, not crystalline, and phonons scatter, making heat travel far slower -- as in pitch Convection, where there is movement of material When a brisant explosive detonates , material is ejected faster than the speed of sound, forming a shock-wave
- inorganic chemistry - Testing thermite for chemical properties . . .
Typical military-grade thermite mixtures (e g used in incendiary hand grenades) contain a large amount of barium nitrate (e g 29 0 % in Thermate-TH3, see Patent No US 6766744) It should be possible to detect the barium oxide that is left over after the fire, maybe first with a simple flame test on site followed by AAS (atomic absorption
