Where does the oxygen needed for burning wood come from?
Oxygen is part of the mixture of gases we breath. Therefore, burning wood uses the oxygen in the atmosphere.
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).
A gas that promotes burning?
Oxygen
Burning coal produces which gas?
Burning coal in complete combustion of oxygen produces carbon-dioxide where as burning coal in limted amount of oxygen produces carbon-monoxide.
When burning magnesium ribbon is introduced into a jar of nitrogen gas?
Magnesium burns in the presence of sulfur dioxide because, the oxygen in the sulfur dioxide is able to bond with magnesium and produce an oxide.
Does oxygen gas support burning?
Oxygen is colourless, support burning but don't smell.
What was oxygen used for in ancient times?
Mainly for breathing and to support burning.
A necessary ingredient for burning?
Oxygen is a necessary ingredient for burning.
What is the role of oxygen while burning matter?
Oxygen is the oxydant in the reaction of burning.
How can you stop your burning?
to stop oxygen for burning
What causes something to burn?
A combination of fuel, oxygen, and a heat source. Everything has an ignition point, that is a temperature at which it will burn if there is oxygen to support the combustion.
Does hydrogen support burning?
Hydrogen does not support burning, instead it completely burns.
Why nitrogen does not support fire?
Nitrogen does not support fire because it is considered a non-flammable substance. Liquid nitrogen prevents fire from spreading because it inhibits fuel and oxygen from burning.
Where does the oxygen needed for burning wood come from?
Oxygen is part of the mixture of gases we breath. Therefore, burning wood uses the oxygen in the atmosphere.
Why water does not support burning?
Water is in a very stable state, so it takes a much less electronegative atom to attract the oxygen away from water. Water *does* support the burning of things like sodium, and potassium metals, and cannot quench thermite combustion once it is started.
How is burning iron a similar reaction to burning?
Because burning is a a reaction with oxygen, an oxydation.
What is the difference between burning steel wool in air and burning it in a pure oxygen?
burns faster in pure oxygen as the percentage of oxygen is less in air
