The Chemistry of Fireworks [Infographic]
Colour in fireworks is produced by pyrotechnic ‘stars’, which produce coloured light when ignited. The stars contain five basic ingredients. Metal salts are used to produced colour; a fuel is needed to allow the star to burn; an oxidising chemical provides oxygen for the combustion the fuel; a chlorine-donating compound helps strengthen some colours; and a binding chemical holds […]
