← HistoryWhich manufacturing outcome results when controlling antimony ratios improves gunpowder's composition?
A)Firing consistency became more predictable✓
B)Explosive energy amplified irregularly
C)Reaction sensitivity spontaneously lessened
D)Deflagration rates became heavily dampened
💡 Explanation
The 'controlled oxidation' of ingredients allowed enhanced consistency in gunpowder performance because controlling antimony's ratio allows more uniform burning during combustion, therefore enabling repeatable velocities, rather than variable or dampened outcomes.
