💎Diamonds can be burned when heated with oxygen.
🔥Heating diamonds until red-hot causes them to react with oxygen and turn into CO2 gas.
🧪Using quartz glass and a blowtorch, diamonds can be burned safely and efficiently.
🌬️Passing oxygen over the burning diamonds enhances the combustion process.
❄️Capturing and solidifying the generated CO2 gas using liquid nitrogen creates dry ice.
Can all diamonds be burned?
—Although diamonds can be burned, the purity and size of the diamond impact the burn rate.
What happens when diamonds burn?
—When diamonds burn, they react with oxygen and transform into CO2 gas.
What materials are used to burn diamonds safely?
—Quartz glass is often used to hold the diamonds during the burning process due to its high heat resistance and transparent properties.
How is the CO2 gas captured?
—The CO2 gas is captured by passing it through a tube surrounded by liquid nitrogen, which solidifies the gas into dry ice.
What can dry ice be used for?
—Dry ice has various applications, including food preservation, theatrical effects, and carbonation.
