Why is it better to burn fuels in a good supply of oxygen?
If you have a good supply of oxygen you get a more complete burn, which means you get more energy out of the fuel and there are fewer products of incomplete combustion, which are often toxic
Why do you need oxygen in space to make fire?
Fire needs oxygen no matter where it is. It is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance. On Earth, the air is already 21% oxygen, so you only need to supply the fuel. In space there is no air and thus no oxygen, so you need to bring oxygen or some comparable oxidizer with you.
What are the factors influence flame height?
Rate of fuel supply, pressure of fuel supply, turbulence,etc
What are the reactants when methane burns in oxygen?
The reactants when methane burns in oxygen are methane and oxygen. The products are CO2, water and heat about 890 Kj/mole is given out. The equation is : CH4(g) + 2O2 _______> CO2 + 2H2O + Heat (-890 Kj/mole) When one mole of methane gas reacts with (burns in) 2 moles of oxygen gas we get 1 mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water and 890 Kilo joules of heat is released. This reaction is exothermic as heat is released and a combustion reaction as methane gas is burned in free supply oxygen not limited supply otherwise carbon monoxide (CO) will be formed. Hope that helped you out. :-D
What is the difference between an oxidizing agent and a fuel?
An oxidizing agent supplies oxygen, and a fuel consumes oxygen.
How can you control the heat of a fire?
Control the fuel supply or oxygen supply to the fire.
How does rocket fuel burn in space without oxygen?
The rocket carries its own supply of oxygen with which to burn the fuel.
What historical report tell you The source of heat which started the fire or The fuel that burnt the fire or The supply of oxygen for the fire?
That the supply of oxygen for the fire
What physical activity supply fuel and oxygen?
Respiration is the activity used to create oxygen in the blood.
What are the methods to stop fire?
Remove the oxygen supply, smother the flames thus removing the oxygen, remove the fuel source, or wet the fuel source.
Will the Ignition module cut off fuel supply?
The ignition module could cut off the fuel supply. The oxygen censor will also cut off the power from an automobile as well.
How was the bonfire put out when water was thrown over it?
You cut off its oxygen supply, no fuel-no fire
What are the conditions to put out fire?
Do three of the following:Exclude oxygen (air)Lower the temperatureStop fuel supply
Why is it better to burn fuels in a good supply of oxygen?
If you have a good supply of oxygen you get a more complete burn, which means you get more energy out of the fuel and there are fewer products of incomplete combustion, which are often toxic
What does Cellular respiration need?
Oxygen and a source of Fuel/Energy, and a Cell. "Lactic Acid Burn", that occurs to overworked muscles, occurs during Respiration that takes place without enough oxygen at the time.
What needs cellular respiration?
Oxygen and a source of Fuel/Energy, and a Cell. "Lactic Acid Burn", that occurs to overworked muscles, occurs during Respiration that takes place without enough oxygen at the time.
Why is carbon monoxide more likely to be formed in engines than if the fuel were burnt in the open air?
Carbon monoxide forms when the oxygen supply is limited, which is more likely to happen inside the cylinder of an engine than in the open air.
