← HistoryWhich consequence results when quicklime’s degradation lowers Greek Fire's exothermicity?
A)Reduced projectile range achieved✓
B)Increased storage vessel cracking
C)Decreased viscosity after reaction
D)Enhanced adhesive burning action
💡 Explanation
Quicklime (calcium oxide) provided intense heat; thus degradation reduces the thermite reaction via a decreased heat of hydration mechanism, impacting propellant force. Therefore effective range decreases, rather than structural failure, altered fluid behavior, or enhanced adhesion.
