Metal Powder Combustion Together

The StemAids Metal Powder Combustion Set is a laboratory demonstration accessory designed for the controlled study of metal powder combustion in a flame. It is suitable for chemistry laboratories, school science labs, college laboratories, teacher demonstrations, and practical training sessions where students observe how metallic powders react during heating and combustion.

Product Description

The StemAids Metal Powder Combustion Set allows teachers and laboratory instructors to demonstrate the combustion behavior of selected metallic powders such as copper, zinc, iron, and aluminium under controlled laboratory conditions. The apparatus includes a steel plate with a central opening and a steel blade support arrangement for positioning the heating source and collecting combustion residue.

During the demonstration, combustion residues and slag are collected on the plate for observation after the reaction. This makes the set useful for teaching oxidation, combustion, flame color observation, metal reactivity, residue formation, and basic chemical change concepts in educational laboratories.
