Only if mixed with a suitable oxidiser, most notably the air. thus a fine dispersion of graphite in the air can be ignited with explosive violence. Also whats known as "graphitic oxide" is explosive and this is formed from oxidation of graphite powder with nitric acid.

∙ 16y agoGraphite is not flammable because it is a form of carbon that is chemically stable and does not readily react with oxygen to undergo combustion.

∙ 11y agoyes graphite is extremely flammable. if you lit graduate get out of there immediately or the fumes will kill you.
Graphite has an extremely low reactivity. Graphite can react with oxygen and sulfuric acid.
Yes, some gels can be flammable depending on their composition. It is important to follow proper safety precautions when using any flammable substances.
No, graphite is not magnetic. It is a form of carbon and does not have magnetic properties.
Fermium is not flammable.
Cyclohexane is flammable.
Carbon Graphite is flammable if you get hit hot enough it will catch on fire
All I know is that Carbon Graphite is flammable if you get hit hot enough it will catch on fire.
: Pencil "Lead" Is made out of Graphite and graphite is NOT flammable. However some brands of "lead" have a coating that is. If you expose a pice of "lead" to an open flame the coating will quickly burn away, the flame will extinguish, and the "lead" will remain. (still useable)
Yes, graphite can burn under certain conditions. It will ignite at high temperatures in the presence of oxygen, typically around 700-900 degrees Celsius. Once ignited, it will continue to burn as long as there is a sufficient oxygen supply.
A pencil will start to burn at around 700°F (370°C). This is because the graphite in the pencil is flammable and will ignite when exposed to high temperatures.
Pencil "lead" is actually made of graphite, which does not burn under normal conditions. The substance is used in pencils because it leaves a dark mark on paper, not because it is flammable.
Class D Class D fire extinguishers are used for various types of flammable metals. A class D fire extinguisher can contain sodium chloride, graphite, or copper powder. A sodium chloride fire extinguisher would be used on metals containing magnesium, sodium, potassium, and sodium-potassium alloys. Copper and graphite fire extinguishers would be used for lithium and lithium alloy fires.
Giant covalent compounds, such as diamond and graphite, are generally not flammable because they consist of strong covalent bonds that require a high amount of energy to break. These compounds do not contain easily removable or reactive elements like hydrogen or oxygen, which are typically involved in combustion reactions.
The correct label for pencil lead is "graphite."
Graphite does not have a transparency.
No, graphite is not renewable.
