My question is this: Is the chemical reaction given in the graphic complete? From what I understand, there are numerous extra reagents at play here. If that is the case, can you tell me what compounds those are, and what affect they have on the gasses that are released in this reaction? More than happy to answer questions! As the graphic states, the equation given is a simplified one; really, there are a myriad of reactions occurring during the combustion of black powder.
This is an overall equation, taking into account a number of different reactions which occur during the burning of black powder. He also goes into a little detail about some of the individual reactions — the book is free to view for that portion at least on Google Books.
The above equation is to complicated to understand i thought that is why once a persona short by gun is going to die. But my question is that from above equation which chemical formula once contact with blood it kill blood cell? Without the constant burning of black powder, could everyone, still occupy the land in which they currently live on?
I beg to differ. Could the burning of black powder be for the sole purpose that none matter entities can exist? What type of reaction is this? Potassium nitrate thermally decomposes, the oxygen generated by this decomposition then proceeds to react in a combustion reaction with the carbon, to give but two examples. Can you tell me are there any substitute substances that can be used for testing to replace gunpowder with.
The coarser or larger the corns or kernels, the less surface area and so the slower combustion of the powder. The largest grades were used for cannons, the smallest to prime small arms or be used in fireworks, incendiaries, and grenades. Even so, the surface area was still volatile. Dust accumulated within the powder, and a single spark could mean disaster. In the 15th century, manufacturers began tumbling the kernels in silk tumblers to remove the dust.
By the mid 17th century, the grains were being polished by adding graphite to the tumbling, which tended to seal the grains and make them safer. Black powder remained in this form until the late 19th century introduction of smokeless powders and other substitutes in the form of higher compression chemical mixes, such as cordite. Black powder consists of a fuel charcoal , an oxidizer saltpeter or niter , and a stabilizer sulfur to allow for a constant reaction.
The reaction would be slow, like a wood fire, if not for the oxidizing agent. It often indicates a user profile. Log out. Science Contributors. Leslie Baehr , Compound Interest. Sign up for notifications from Insider!

In commercial black powder preparation, potassium nitrate or another nitrate e. This helps prevent electrostatic charge build-up, reducing the chance a stray spark will prematurely ignite the mixture.
Sometimes black powder is tumbled with graphite dust after it is mixed to coat the grains. In addition to reducing static, the graphite reduces moisture absorption, which could prevent gunpowder from igniting. Typical modern gunpowder consists of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur in a or Historically significant formulations have been calculated on a percentage basis:.
