how to make fire on ice? You should know How to Build a Fire On Snow– because this trick can be used as a normal magic trick or as well as it’s a good survival skill if you are in any trouble and you need to keep warm your body so that it doesn’t freeze. However, if you will find yourself really in an antagonistic circumstance, you should have some logs to keep the fire burning after building it on the snow. However, there are several tips & tricks to do this, but today Askerweb will teach you with the help of Chemistry as an easy homemade Science project.

Explanation of why & how the fire is burning on the ice:
You are probably thinking why & how is it possible? If ice is actually nothing but a physical form of water & if water normally distinguishes the fire, how the ice helps the fire to burn. Don’t astonish, it’s just a simple chemical reaction. Actually due to the reaction between Calcium Carbide & ice (water or H2O) Acetylene gas emits & that gas is a combustible matter that helps the fire to be lightened. Here Acetylene reacted with O2 and creates CO2 & H2O.
CaC2 + 2H2O = Ca(OH)2 + C2H2
2C2H2 + 5O2 = 4CO2 +2H2O
Probably it seems to you that here H2O is actual responsible reactor. Then can we use this trick on water instead of ice? Probably yes. Do comment below your thought.
