Question

define explosive combustion

Answer 1

The speed of the reaction is what distinguishes an explosive reaction from an ordinary combustion reaction. Unless the reaction occurs very rapidly, the thermally expanding gases will be moderately dissipated in the medium, with no large differential in pressure and there will be no explosion. Consider a wood fire.

• A very fast combustion reaction in which a large amount of heat, light and sound are produced is called explosive combustion.
• A large amount of gases is released quickly.It is the rapid expansion of these gases which causes a loud sound.
