← HistoryWhich outcome followed inefficient early gunpowder refinement during early Chinese rocketry?
A)Reduced projectile range resulted✓
B)Barrel steel crystallized rapidly
C)Combustion temperatures became manageable
D)Propellant became insensitive to impact
💡 Explanation
Early gunpowder was unstable; imperfect mixing often led to deflagration rather than rapid detonation. The slower burning caused LOWER expansion force because energy was released over a longer duration therefore, less kinetic energy transferred affecting range, rather than managing temperatures or improving stability.
