Can someone explain me the chemistry behind kindling of a match stick?
Does the rubbing or striking, leading to friction, produce sufficient temperature that the wood(stick) starts burning?
I mean its hard to digest, as the ignition temperature of the wood is 290 degree centigrade.
So does that simple striking/rubbing/brushing can produce that much heat energy that the temperature reaches 290 degree centigrade?
And also what is that brownish substance made of?
