Understanding Cellulose Nitrate

Cellulose nitrate is a reactive compound that remains stable at room temperature. However, when slightly warmed, it can ignite, demonstrating its sensitivity to temperature changes.

What is the nature of cellulose nitrate as described in the video?

• It is a highly reactive compound.

• It is an inert compound.

• It is a non-reactive compound.

• It is a stable compound.

How does cellulose nitrate behave at room temperature?

• It decomposes rapidly.

• It is fairly stable.

• It is highly unstable.

• It becomes inert.

What is a key characteristic of cellulose nitrate at room temperature?

• It is completely inert.

• It is fairly stable.

• It is highly volatile.

• It is extremely reactive.

What happens to cellulose nitrate when it is slightly warmed?

• It solidifies.

• It ignites.

• It evaporates.

• It melts.

Which of the following best describes the reactivity of cellulose nitrate?

• Reactive when slightly warmed.

• Reactive at room temperature.

• Reactive only at high temperatures.

• Non-reactive at all temperatures.
