How does matchbook work

🤔 How it works ……..

How does matchbook work 🔥

When the matchstick is rubbed against the side of the match box, some of the red phosphorus is converted into white phosphorus; this immediately reacts with potassium chlorate in the matchstick head to produce enough heat to ignite antimony trisulphide and starts the combustion of matchstick.

In 1826 John Walker of England invented the first friction matches. Walker’s matches were ignited by drawing the heads through a folded piece of paper coated with ground glass. He began selling them in 1827, but they were difficult to light and were not a success. Again In 1831, Charles Sauria of France developed a match that used white phosphorus.

😳Why❓❓❓

Why in India, Fuel price is different in various states:Prices is calculated like this:

Crude Oil (Indian Basket) + Refining Cost + Central Excise Duty + Dealer’s Commision + VAT (collected by State Government) = Petrol Price (in your city)

For Example, if
Petrol Price (Indian Basket) = ₹32.39

Refining Cost = ₹5.93

Central Excise Duty = ₹19.48

Dealer’s Commision = ₹3.62

*till here the price is now fixed before entering into state

*i.e. Total = ₹61.42*

1 — VAT (eg Delhi is 27%) = ₹61.42 × 0.27 = ₹16.58

Pollution Cess = ₹0.25

Then Petrol Price in Delhi becomes = ₹78.25/L
