Answer:
chemical energy is stored in the wood before combustion.
Here is the chemical equation for gun powder, in it’s simple form:
<span>2 KNO3 + S + 3 C → K2S + N2 + 3 CO2.</span>
This is the same simplified formula, only balanced:
<span>10 KNO3 + 3 S + 8 C → 2 K2CO3 + 3 K2SO4 + 6 CO2 + 5 N2.</span>
The partial pressure of gas C is 0.902 atm
calculation
partial pressure of gas c =[( percent by volume of gas C / total percent) x total pressure]
percent by volume of gas C= 22%
Total percent = 36% +42% + 22% = 100 %
Total pressure = 4.1 atm
partial pressure of gas C is therefore = 22/100 x 4.1 atm = 0.902 atm
Oxygen is 21% and nitrogen is 78% so combined is 99%
