Hot Color
What color is fire when it’s as hot as it can be?
I know blue fire is hotter then red, orange and yellow. But what is the hottest flame color?
white.
Buring magnesium is white hot, and believe me you wouldn’t want to be near it when it does go up. It is hot enough to break down the molecular structure of water into oxygen and hydrogen and then ignight the following gases. Firefighters usually have to find other means to fight magnesium fires other than using water.
