  2. Pyrophoricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrophoricity

    The creation of sparks from metals is based on the pyrophoricity of small metal particles, and pyrophoric alloys are made for this purpose. [2] Practical applications include the sparking mechanisms in lighters and various toys, using ferrocerium; starting fires without matches, using a firesteel; the flintlock mechanism in firearms; and spark testing ferrous metals.

  3. Water-reactive substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-reactive_substances

    Water-reactive substances [1] are those that spontaneously undergo a chemical reaction with water, often noted as generating flammable gas. [2] Some are highly reducing in nature. [ 3 ] Notable examples include alkali metals , lithium through caesium , and alkaline earth metals , magnesium through barium .

    A steel bottle containing MgCp 2 (magnesium bis-cyclopentadienyl), which, like several other organometallic compounds, is pyrophoric in air.. Organometallic compounds are distinguished by the prefix "organo-" (e.g., organopalladium compounds), and include all compounds which contain a bond between a metal atom and a carbon atom of an organyl group.

  7. Pyrotechnic composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrotechnic_composition

    A pyrotechnic composition is a substance or mixture of substances designed to produce an effect by heat, light, sound, gas/smoke or a combination of these, as a result of non-detonative self-sustaining exothermic chemical reactions. Pyrotechnic substances do not rely on oxygen from external sources to sustain the reaction.

  9. Diborane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diborane

    As a pyrophoric substance, diborane reacts exothermically with oxygen to form boron trioxide and water: 2 B 2 H 6 + 6 O 2 → 2 B 2 O 3 + 6 H 2 O (ΔH r = −2035 kJ/mol = −73.47 kJ/g) Diborane reacts violently with water to form hydrogen and boric acid: B 2 H 6 + 6 H 2 O → 2 B(OH) 3 + 6 H 2 (ΔH r = −466 kJ/mol = −16.82 kJ/g) Diborane ...
