Interpretation:
The substances used to produce colors in fireworks, needs to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Electrons absorb energy and become excited. Due to this phenomenon, a chemical gets its color. That excitation absorbs
Answer to Problem 3E
Carbon, aluminum, phosphorous, Sulphur, etc.
Explanation of Solution
Metal salts generally used in firework shows, consist of: calcium chloride (orange fireworks), strontium carbonate (red fireworks), sodium nitrate (yellow fireworks), copper chloride (blue fireworks) and
barium chloride (green fireworks).
Carbon is the prime components of black powder which is used in fireworks. Silver and white color produced by aluminum, it also gives sparks and flames in the fireworks. Spontaneousignition in the air is due to the presence of phosphorous and Sulfur helps to fuel fireworks.

- If a high molecular weight linear polyethylene is chlorinated by inducing the substitution of chlorine atoms by hydrogen, if 5% of all hydrogen atoms are replaced, what approximate percentage of chlorine by weight would the product have?arrow_forwardO Macmillan Learning Chemistry: Fundamentals and Principles Davidson presented by Macmillan Learning Poly(ethylene terephthalate), known as PET or industrially as Dacron, is a polyester synthesized through a condensation reaction between two bifunctional monomers. The monomers, ethylene glycol and terepthalic acid, are given. Add bonds and remove atoms as necessary to show the structure of a two repeat unit portion of a longer polymer chain of PET. You may need to zoom out to see the complete structure of all four monomer units.
