Chemicals apply on Paper for Matchsticks to burn automatically from 3 to 4 inch distance...Name the chemicals.
Answers
The Head of the match contains is coated with a mixture of potassium chlorate, mixed with sulfur, fillers and glass powder. The match paper is coated with red phosphorus, binder and powdered glass - normally laid down in a series of bumps.
When you strike the match head across the match paper - the friction (which is increased significantly by the inclusion of the glass powder) causes a minute amount of red phosphorus to be converted to white phosphorus, which ignites spontaneously in air. This sets off the decomposition of potassium chlorate to give oxygen and potassium chloride. The sulfur catches fire and ignites the wood.
A very simple experiment that you can carry out yourself, and you can confirm that you don’t just need to bring the matchstick close to the paper to ignite it.
