In Response To: Re: Basic chemistry (Tiger51) : Methane alone is extremely flammable, oxygen meanwhile, is not. Oxygen is
[grunt voice] Hunh? [/grunt voice] Methane (CH4) isn't self-oxidizing, if I'm reading my sources correctly. Methane requires an oxidizer in order to combust, though it does so at a very low flash-point temperature and over a fairly broad range of concentrations. (See methane's MSDS for more info.) : Lets think about this, none of the covie weapons use explosions to operate,
The MSDS above does say that methane can't be detonated by electricity alone, but all that plasma energy gets released as heat in the end and it's heat that'll touch off methane in the presence of an oxidizer. -- Steve's glad to put those mandatory WHMIS courses to some use. |
