← HistoryWhich outcome arises from the restricted airflow during unsealing ancient Greek Fire?
A)Immediate catastrophic thermal explosion
B)A slow, smoldering, ignition delay✓
C)Complete composition inertness occurs
D)Component accelerated spontaneous liquification
💡 Explanation
A slow smoldering ignition occurs initially because restricted airflow limits the reaction rate, hence combustion delays due to limited oxidation initiating. Therefore, delayed ignition happens, rather than instant explosion under this specific constraint of airflow.
