Ingredients
in a Firework
Usually, fireworks
are made up of the following objects; an oxidizer, a reducing agent, a
coloring agent, binders, and regulators. These items mixed together make
up the basic firework. An oxidizer agent is the first thing in a firework.
Oxidizers produce the oxygen to burn the mixture. One oxidizer is chlorate.
To cause amore spectacular reaction, the chlorates give up all of their
oxygen. After the oxidizers is the reducing agents. The reducing agents
job is to burn the oxygen that the oxidizers produce to make hot gasses.
They are also supposed to control the speed of the reaction. The binders
have the job of holding the mixture in a lump, this is a star.
