Three things are usually required for a chemical explosion: a chemical reaction that occurs very rapidly‚ a large increase in gas pressure‚ and a confined-reaction vessel in which the pressure of the gaseous products can increase to a point that the gases break violently out of the container. In this chemistry and physics science fair project‚ you will use the combustion of ethanol to provide energy for a small explosion. The chemical equation that describes the combustion of ethanol is shown below
