Yes, the term most frequently encountered for the catastrophic failure of a compressed gas cylinder that results from overheating is BLEVE (rhymes with Chevy: acronym for "boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion"). The term more accurately describes the explosion of a non-pressure-rated container, such as a drum or tank, during a fire.
BLEVEs can happen but typically, the overpressure (blow-out) disk releases pressure before the wall of the cylinder fails. Contamination of the tank with combustible materials, such as grease, could result in a detonation during filling.
Mechanical damage to the cylinder more frequently results in turning the cylinder into a projectile propelled by the gas escaping through the broken valve. Unusual situations such as accidentally striking an arc on the tank wall with a welder or unwittingly filling a tank that had been painted using a heat-curing process that weakens the cylinder walls could result in an explosive failure.
Oxygen, itself, is not an explosive though.Explosives are technically those substances that produce supersonic shock waves when detonated. Oxygen gas would be an oxidizer.
No.
But it can make other things burn quite rapidly.
Yes. A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is highly explosive. Igniting this mixture will form water vapor.
Only in contact with some organic materials as greases, oils, etc., in mixtures with hydrogen, etc.
A contact with hydrogen or organic compounds at a high temperature.
No. See the link below.
No.
light a match and blow on it. What happens? (only with adult supervision) Only the lack of oxygen puts out a fire, wind fans the flame. Blow slowly and the match stays lit. A quick blow displaces the oxygen with your carbon dioxide. Oil well fires are put out by an explosion using up all the oxygen,
Because when you blow on the coals you are adding oxygen to the fire and oxygen fuels a fire. A fire would simply go out without any oxygen. Because when you blow on the coals you are adding oxygen to the fire and oxygen fuels a fire. A fire would simply go out without any oxygen.
Mount fuji blow up 1707
No
No
Spark from mixing.
No, they simply pass air over a heating element to warm it. They don't use up any oxygen.
Lol trying to blow up the ocean
it will blow up!

did not blow up
blow-up is definitely the wrong word. There would be a very slow oxidation as the temperature there is not high enough to initiate the chain-combustion of ----anything. If you were to put oxygen into the atmosphere of Titan it would be there for a few hundred years before it was all gone.
Mercury did not blow up.
You get a bomb then blow it up! But why?
how to blow up a bloon
Don't blow up the lab with your experiment. The terrorists might blow up the bridge.
As when you blow a candle the force of the air pressure take it away and the oxygen around us make a way for it to blow.
