Fireworks

1. Which reactants used in this experiment are flammable? Discuss the safety precautions that are necessary when working with flammable materials in the lab?

As I learned this valuable lesson about fireworks, I also learned to be responsible. Instead of carelessly positioning the firework on a incline, I should've made sure I positioned the firework upright so it doesn’t topple over. I need to be safe instead of getting into harm's way, and handle dangerous material with caution. More importantly I learned about thinking things through. Every action has consequences. I could have hurt someone or burned the house down. I now know to think before I do

Discharge of static electricity can cause hazards in situations with flammable substances where a small electrical spark might ignite explosive mixtures.

The flamethrower has been around for a very long time, as far back as the 5th century b.c. Now recently in the last 100 years made a reappearance and this time it is even more deadly than before. The reoccurrence of popularity came about in around 1915 when a German scientist named Richard Fiedler came up with the first modern flamethrower. The flamethrower is a weapon that if you couldn’t tell by reading the name, it shoots out flames. How a flamethrower actually works is not as hard as it sounds “These took the form of lengthy tubes filled with burning solids (such as coal or sulphur), and which were used in the same way as blow-guns: by blowing into one end of the tube the solid material inside would be propelled towards the operator's enemies.”http://www.firstworldwar.com/weaponry/flamethrowers.htm

When we see fireworks explode, what we’re actually seeing is the explosion of components inside the aerial shell. The aerial shell is made up of gunpowder and stars, small lumps that are comprised of fuel, an oxidizing agent, a metal-containing colorant, and a binder. These stars are what give the fireworks their colors. (De Antonis, pg 8). The metal-containing colorant produces the color when it’s exposed to a flame (in this case, the ignition of the gunpowder) then the fuel and oxidizing agent combine to create a chemical reaction that yields powerful heat and gas (De Antonis, pg 8).The binder holds all these ingredients together when the firework explodes. When the fuse at the bottom of a firework is lit, the energy propels it upwards until

"Boom! Pow! Sounds that are immediately followed by Ahh's and cheers. For most of us these sounds are all too familiar at annual 4th of July firework celebrations. However, what would a 4th of July celebration be without the glimmering colors of our nation. People all over our country are able to share in the excitement of fireworks partly due to the effects of one element. The glow of a child’s face from “Glow in the dark” paint is able to work - again- because of the effects of one element. However, the feelings of happiness and pleasure are not constricted to only the red glow of paints and flares. This amazing element is also able to bring pleasure and

After a while, they learned that if you pointed the fireworks at something, it probably would not be there after a firework exploded. They used this new technology to create the first explosive weapons of war: the cannon. This was made by putting a stone ball into a stalk of bamboo and then by detonating gunpowder on one side of the stalk to make the ball shoot out the other side. The cannon was used against the Mongol Empire to stop raids into Chinese lands. Other new weapons came right after the cannon: the fire spears, fire arrows, and grenades. In her article on Study.com, Jessica Whittemore states that those new weapons were perfected and held by only the Chinese empire until the 13th century, when the monopoly was shattered. Due to the crusades driven by the east, many trade routes opened up connecting the east to the west. The secrets of gunpowder first made its way to the Middle East and Islamic Empires, and then to the Catholic Roman Empire. The Ottoman Turks perfected and used it to finally capture the city of Constantinople in 1453, and both the English and the French used it to great effect against each other in the Hundred Years War (Whittemore). Every battle used since the creation and spread of the cannon has been fought using the revolutionary invention. Almost a win condition, if your opponent’s side had gunpowder and cannons and your side did not, it was

After we created the firework masterpieces, I tried to explain to my son that we would see lots of fireworks over the weekend. I told him they would make loud “kaboom” sounds and have so many pretty colors, just like his paintings. He was so happy about the idea but still confused at the same time so I showed him a few videos on Youtube. His face lit up when he saw the fireworks bursting along to music in the videos. He would look wide-eyed at the video & then point to his paintings while shouting “Fah-wurk! Fah-wurk!”. Hopefully this will be a nice introduction to this holiday's loud spectacle. Last year he was too small to understand or even be afraid of the explosive sounds. This year I’m hoping he enjoys the beauty and excitement of the fireworks like I did as a young boy and still do to this

It all starts with the crack of a firework and the sizzle as the sparks drift slowly back to earth. In the distance you can hear the crying of little kids, terrified by the booming sounds, along with the "oohs" and "ahs" of the people in the little town enjoying the firework show. Following the thirty minute show, families file up the beach stairs to return to the comfort of their own beds. In the morning they will participate in the yearly parade.

Fireworks are one of those things that everyone loves to see every chance they can get. Acme Fireworks wants to start showing fireworks on the regular basis, but it will cost more to hire more people for the labor, insurance, and the service of setting off the fireworks. I will determine if the contract with the businesses will be governed by common law or the Uniform Commercial Code and explain why, analyze whether the owner formed the contract with the business and apply the five essential elements of an enforceable contract. I will explain the potential personal liability to Acme Fireworks if a spectator is injured by a stray firework from a fireworks display, discuss the difference employment types and relationships relevant to agency law and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each type specific to Acme Fireworks. I will also explain why Acme Fireworks should not operate as a sole proprietorship and I will recommend a new business entity and provide rationale to support my recommendation.

Fancy a small hand-made explosion? Learn the art of making a smoke bomb out of creative household items! You need only three ingredients to enjoy explosions with household items in your backyard: potassium nitrate (from a first aid cold pack), aluminum foil and some granulated white sugar.

Acme Fireworks is a reputable fire work company that falls under the form of retailer. In order to gain consumers and sell their products they must put out ground display’s of their fireworks as well as a variety of aerial fireworks, especially their larger products. This company started out as a small family owned business in the back of a man’s garage and as he grew and drew in more consumers he is now a managing fifteen employees that help him operate his business. The company has been a sole proprietorship and the owner has never changed his entity, meaning no partnerships or shareholders. The owner has received numerous inquiries from surrounding businesses if his company would be able to create more personalized fireworks for them on a more regular basis.

Firework can be hazardous even a minor injury could cost the owner their personal assets in lawsuits. By putting the most experienced employees on the setups and execution of the firework, the owner can

Many fireworks are imported from China which is scary because they have a proven track record of cutting corners by using cheaper, more toxic materials. Some of the metals also have radioactive isotopes. The American Fireworks Standards Laboratory (AFSL) has established a testing and certification program for Chinese and U.S. fireworks to determine if they are being produced according to AFSL Standards, which means it meets all U.S. federal requirements. Along with the AFSL testing’s, there have been many case study that prove that fireworks can be extremely harmful to the environment. The following table shows the toxic elements of Fireworks and what it is used for. As it is examined, it is clear to see that all the elements from the combustion reaction can be very harmful to the environment and the living population in multiple different ways.
