Q. What happens when you burn potassium?
Pure potassium is a highly reactive metal. The conflagration occurs because the combination of potassium and water creates potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas, as well as heat. The heat ignites the hydrogen gas, and the whole shebang goes boom.
Q. Is Green Fire toxic?
Green flame can be caused by copper salts or corroded copper parts contaminating the flame with copper ions. This can “naturally” happen, and the minute amount of copper is harmless. However if someone intentionally put larger amount of toxic copper salts there, that might be dangerous.
Q. What Colour flame is dangerous?
The yellow colour comes from the soot particles produced by the flame. Yellow or red flames only burn at around 1,000 degrees C. This flame is dangerous as it produces more poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
Q. What is green fire called?
For those who may not recall what that green fire is, it’s Wildfire — a highly flammable and incredibly volatile liquid created by the pyromancers of the ancient society known as the Alchemists’ Guild. Also called “the Substance,” Wildfire begins as a bright green liquid and burns with great strength when it’s ignited.
Q. What burns green in a fire?
A green flame, for instance, indicates the presence of copper. As copper heats up, it absorbs energy that’s manifested in the form of a green flame. And burning strontium chloride will create a red flame.
Q. What does Dracarys mean?

Q. What does it mean if fire is white?
White smoke can often mean material is off-gassing moisture and water vapor, meaning the fire is just starting to consume material. White smoke can also indicate light and flashy fuels such as grass or twigs. Grey smoke can indicate that the fire is slowing down and running out of materials to burn.
Q. What does the Colour of smoke mean?
The color of the smoke depends on the material that is burning. Natural materials such as unfinished wood will change to tan or brown colored smoke, whereas plastics and painted surfaces appear to be grey in color. However, black smoke can appear grey when it is mixed with moisture from other heated materials.
Q. What does Brown Smoke mean?
