What percentage of oxygen for fire?
Oxygen comprises about 21% of the air we breathe. For combustion to occur, the oxygen level needs to be around 16% or higher. If the percentage drops below that, a fire will be deprived of oxygen and will not be able to sustain itself.
Does fire need air to breathe?
No, fire does not "breathe" air like animals do. Air is necessary for fire to burn because it contains the oxygen that fuels the combustion process. Without oxygen, fires cannot start or continue burning.
Why do firefighters need oxygen?
At the place of fire, the burning things use up all the oxygen(burning is nothing but reaction with oxygen) and fill the place with Carbon Monoxide and dense fumes, so to be able to stand there and douse the fire, firefighters do need Oxygen to breathe properly.
Are there animals that really breathe fire?
Fish breathe oxygen, which they extract from the water with their gills.
Can water be used to put out fires?
Yes, fire is like us, it needs oxygen to breathe, water has no oxygen molcules, meaning it will put out a fire.
How and where is oxygen used?
Oxygen is just about everywhere and had many uses such as the air we breathe, fuel for fire, and when we breathe in air, we release carbon dioxide that plants will take in, and purify it so it once again becomes oxygen.
What is an oxygen fed-fire?
An oxygen-fed fire is a fire that is fueled by an increased supply of oxygen, resulting in a more intense and faster-burning fire. It can be more difficult to control and extinguish due to the higher oxygen levels supporting combustion.
Why is oxygen useful to us?
We inhale oxygen for breathe. Also, animals and plants depend on it as well. It forms atmosphere so that air can stay on Earth and also a need of fire.
Use of oxygen?
charcoal, a cloth of woven carbon filaments
Can you breathe on fire?
Yes you can breathe on fire.
How you use nitrogen gas to control fire in mine?
A fire needs oxygen to burn. Air contains oxygen. So passing in nitrogen stops incoming air refuelling the fire. Have to be careful if there are trapped people who of course need to take in oxygen as they breathe.
Why does water affect fire?
Water basically smothers a fire. Just like smothering a person, if you do it long enough, they will no longer be able to breathe
