← HistoryDuring a siege, which consequence arises when insufficient quicklime is combined when crafting Greek fire?
A)Reduced thermal shock on impact
B)Premature combustion inside equipment
C)Increased component viscosity stability
D)Lower flame propagation rate found✓
💡 Explanation
Lower CaO content creates substandard Greek fire due to incomplete Saponification, therefore the flame propagation rate will reduce, because unreacted reagents have lower energy density rather than premature combustion or increasing overall thermal shock.
