How will burning be affected if nitrogen is not in air to act as a diluent for oxygen?

Nitrogen being diluent for the gases in our atmosphere reduces the combustion process as it dilutes the oxygen in the atmosphere, otherwise every combustion process will be very rapid and will start with a bang. :)

Is oxygen free nitrogen pressure affected by temperature?
Assuming you are talking about oxygen gas and nitrogen gas the answer is yes. Each and every gas is affected by temperature.
Chemical formula of nitrogen monoxide?
The chemical formula for nitrogen monoxide is NO. It consists of one nitrogen and one oxygen atom per molecule of nitrogen monoxide.
What is the word equation for burning ammonia?
ammonia + oxygen --> nitrogen monoxide + water
Why does magnesium go out immedely in nitrogen?
Burning of magnesium (or anything else) requires continuing combination with oxygen. If a burning piece of magnesium is transferred to an atmosphere of nitrogen, no additional magnesium can react with oxygen because none is available for reaction.
Can nitrogen catch on fire?
No. It would be very bad for us if they did, ad out atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen will react with oxygen, but only at high temperatures, and the process actually absorbs more energy than it gives out.
Why is there more nitrogen in the atmosphere than oxygen?
The atomosphere would be explosive otherwise and the planet uninhabitable. Nitrogen acts as nature's diluent.
Why is nitrogen more than oxygen in the atmosphere?

How will burning be affected if nitrogen is not in the air to act as a dilute for oxygen?
Burning will be more agressive and faster. Also self-ignition occurs at a lower temperatures when there is more O2 available.

Why there are nitrogen bombs and nitro boosters if oxygen helps in burning?
Because chemical other than oxygen also boost burning rates.

Why did god made nitrogen more abundant than oxygen?
oxygen is used by human and animals for respiration but nitrogen do not. for consuming nitrogen plants need nitrogen fixation thus occurs on low scale on other hand oxygen is directly used so its cunsumbtion is more then nitrogen. another important point is that oxygen is used in burning, formation of water etc thus means ratio of cunsumbtion of oxygen is more then nitrogen ,if there was more oxygen then it would lead to a blast every time there was a spark
What is formed when nitrogen combines with oxygen when burning fossil fuels?
Various nitric oxides are formed.
Why is nitrogen gas more than oxygen gas in the air?
oxygen is used by human and animals for respiration bt nitrogen do not. for consuming nitrogen plants need nitrogen fixation ths occurs on low scale on other hand oxygen is directly used so its cunsumbtion is more then nitrogen. another important point is that oxygen is used in burning, formation of water etc ths means ratio of cunsumbtion of oxygen is mor then nitrogen
What three natural disasters which affected?
atoms oxygen and nitrogen any thats all there is haha
