It can happen where all of combustible material, a source of oxygen, and a source of heat are present. Rockets fire in space all the time. However, the combustion actually occurs within a non-vacuum, the space occupied by the combustible material (e.g. hydrazine) and the oxidizing agent (e.g. nitrogen tetroxide). In a true vacuum, having no matter means having no combustible materials.

What will happen if the amount of combustion drops?
what will happen if the amount of combustion in earth drops?
What will happen if the air is limited during the combustion?
If limited then combustion is reduced, if totally restricted then there's no combustion at all
What chemical reactions happen when a firework is lit?
combustion...
What would happen if you put your hand in a vacuum?
It will explode
What is the change of enthalpy associated with the combustion of one mole of pentane The chemical equation is C5H12 8 O2 yields 5 CO2 6 H2O?
The enthalpy associated with pentane is roughly 1 to 1 when combustion in a vacuum chamber, if you combustion it outside you will have a greater rate of loss from the pentane.

What happen when air travel through vacuum?
The vacuum becomes no longer a vacuum.
Can radiation happen in a vacuum?
Yes. Both nuclear radiation and electromagnetic radiation such as light can happen in a vacuum.
Can wood actually melt or not?
Yes. Anything can melt IF you apply the necessary heat IN A VACUUM. The vacuum prevents combustion and therefore burning from fire.
Why is filament of bulb kept in vacuum?
A light bulb needs a vacuum to prevent the combustion (burning) of the filament when it's heated. The vacuum assures that there is no oxygen in the bulb, which would be necessary to support combustion.
What chemical reactions happen when a firework is lit?
combustion...
What is the factors needed for combustion to happen?
Fuel. Oxidizer. Ignition source?
Why does Spontaneous Human Combustion happen when the victim is alone?
Cause it is fake.
What is needed for combustion to take place?
A combustion reaction takes place when a fuel and an oxidant react, producing heat or heat and light. The most recognizable form of combustion reaction is flame, with explosions being an even faster form of combustion reaction. A combustion can happen at a wide range of speeds, and can occur in many different environments, but the majority of combustions we know and recognize happen in a fairly limited spectrum.
What cannot happen in a solid or through a vacuum?
convection
What would happen if you put your hand in a vacuum?
It will explode
