Spontaneous combustion
« on: November 01, 2013, 11:30:17 AM »
Hello!

I know that: KMnO4, CrO3, KNO3 and KClO3 are all strong oxidizers.

KMnO4 with glicerin ignites spontaneously.
CrO3 with C2H5OH ignites spontaneously.
KNO3 with Zn and a few drops of water ignites spontaneously.
KClO3 with glicerin and H2SO4 ignites spontaneously.

The thing is that I need to find a substance which will give a spontaneous ignition with each of the substances (KMnO4, CrO3, KNO3 and KClO3). I was thinking of a strong reducer. It would be good if this substance wasn't too expensive and was quite common (I have to carry out a few experiments and my chemistry teacher can give me the substances I need provided she has them).
My mother tongue is not English so please forgive me my mistakes. I try to write as clearly as I can.
