Oxygen itself is non flammable but it readily supports combustion and the more oxygen that is added, the hotter the flame will be. An easy way to verify this is to check with a welder. When he turns the oxygen only on he gets no flame. If he turns on the acetelene only he will get a flame but not hot enough to be useful. When he adds oxygen to the flame it will get hot enough to make a cutting torch that will cut through layered steel.

How is burning iron a similar reaction to burning?
Because burning is a a reaction with oxygen, an oxydation.
What is the role of oxygen while burning matter?
Oxygen is the oxydant in the reaction of burning.

Is oxygen necessary for burning?
Combustion (or burning) is the reaction between a fuel and any oxidant. So by definition burning requires oxygem, As to why oxygen supports burning because it is very reactive and when any when any chemical is oxidiesed it is an exothermic reaction
Sulphur burning in oxygen?
The reaction is: S + O2 = SO2
Why is a burning candel a chemical change and not a physical changes?
Burning is a chemical reaction with oxygen (oxidation).
Which gas helps in burning?
Burning is combustion, which is an oxidation reaction that requires oxygen. Therefore oxygen promotes burning, as it is a reactant in the reaction, and higher concentrations of a reactant will result in a faster rate of reaction (collision theory).
What is another word you can use to describe a burning reaction?
combustion? :)
Is burning another word for combustion?
Yes, burning and combustion are often used interchangeably to describe the chemical reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light. Burning typically refers to the visible process of a material undergoing combustion.
