What happens if the sun runs out of oxygen?
It would be of little to no consequence. The "burning" of the sun is not really fire; it does not use oxygen. The sun is instead powered by nuclear fusion, which turns hydrogen into helium.
How does oxygen supports burning?
Oxygen is an oxidizing element, in that it accepts electrons. Oxidizing elements are essential in combustion reactions as reactants. Once the amount of oxygen runs out, the reaction stops, therefore it supports burning by allowing the reaction to carry forward.
What happens when crude oil runs out?
There will be no more gas or oil and we better have another fuel source by then
What does a candle need to stay lit?
Make sure you are not close to any wind!!!!!! In addition, oxygen and the wick are needed to continue the flame. If the wick runs out, or if the candle is put in an oxygen-free environment the candle will burn out.
Why is the flame of a burning match or splint goes out when placed in a test tube?
Basically, the oxygen supply in the tube falls much more quickly than carbon dioxide builds up from the flame's smoke. When the smoke increases sufficiently and little oxygen is left, the flame runs out of fuel to continue its reaction and, in doing so, burns out.
What Happens When The body runs Out of Oxygen?
You die.
What happens if oxygen supply runs out in cellular respiration?
Fermentation
What happens when you burn fuel in virtually no oxygen?
With virtually no oxygen, you can burn fuel for virtually no time before the oxygen runs out.
What happens to blood when warming up?
When you warm up your blood runs through your blood arteries and creates oxygen for your body :)
What happens if the sun runs out of oxygen?
It would be of little to no consequence. The "burning" of the sun is not really fire; it does not use oxygen. The sun is instead powered by nuclear fusion, which turns hydrogen into helium.
What happens when burning continues in closed room?
Depending on the materials of the walls, the fire can spread. If the walls are fireproof, the fire will die once it runs out of oxygen.
How does the body produce energy when it runs out of oxygen?
When the body runs out of oxygen, it switches to anaerobic metabolism, which generates energy without oxygen. During anaerobic metabolism, glucose is broken down into lactic acid to produce energy. However, this process is less efficient and can only sustain limited activity before fatigue sets in.
Is most of earths atmosphere nitrogen or oxygen?
Nitrogen is about 70%. Oxygen runs about 28%.
Does algae decay and consume oxygen when they die?
When Algae runs out of the proper nutrition it needs such as phosphates and other minerals it dies. Algae then dies and starts to decay during the decaying process Algae uses oxygen which is also why fish die from lack of oxygen. So to answer this question yes Algae does decay and consume oxygen.
Does a rocket fall back if it runs out of oxygen?
No. A rocket does not need to fire its engines to stay in orbit. It does, however need fuel and oxygen to perform any maneuvers, so a rocket that runs out of oxygen will be stranded in space.
Explain off side in a football game?
This happens when when a defensive player runs across the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped. The offensive line can not flinch to make the defensive player run offsides.
