Fireworks Fireworks Fireworks are a class of low explosive pyrotechnic devices used for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. The most common use of a firework is as part of a fireworks display (also called a fireworks show or pyrotechnics), a display of the effects produced by firework devices. Fireworks competitions are also regularly held at a number of places. Fireworks take many forms to produce the four primary effects: noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (confetti for example). They may be designed to burn with colored flames and sparks including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver. Displays are common throughout
Lithium chlorate Lithium chlorate Lithium chlorate is the inorganic chemical compound with the formula LiClO. Like all chlorates, it is an oxidizer and may become unstable and possibly explosive if mixed with organic materials, reactive metal powders, or sulfur. It can be manufactured by the reaction of hot, concentrated lithium hydroxide with chlorine: 3 Cl + 6 LiOH → 5 LiCl + LiClO + 3 HO Lithium chlorate has a very high solubility in water. It is also a 6-electron oxidant. Its electrochemical reduction is facilitated by acid, electrocatalysts and redox mediators. These properties make LiClO3 an interesting oxidant for high energy
