Have you ever wondered what fireworks are, when they were discovered, and what is needed to create their colors?
Of course, as with many things, the answer lies in chemistry…
The Origins of Fireworks
Gunpowder was one of the most famous discoveries of Chinese alchemists and significantly influenced the development of civilization. Some early recipes from the 4th century contained a mixture of potassium nitrate and sulfur. The first known complete recipe for gunpowder, or "fire chemical," which included charcoal as a third ingredient, was published in 1044 in the "Collection of the Most Important Military Techniques."
