Combustion: C(s) + O2(g)=CO2(g)
A fresh piece of lithium will react with oxygen in the air to form lithium oxide. This reaction is exothermic and can produce heat, light, and potentially even a fire.
Fire is a chemical reation involving oxygen, the fuel, in this case the wax and wick, and heat.
A glass bottle does not react to oxygen as it is an inert material. Therefore, it does not react with oxygen at all.
To put out a sodium fire, you can use a Class D fire extinguisher specifically designed for metal fires. Never use water, as it can react violently with sodium and worsen the situation. Additionally, you can smother the fire with sand or dry powder to deprive it of oxygen.
For example uranium react with oxygen but not with water.
because the molecules of oxygen only react at high temperatures
No, hydrochloric acid (HCl) does not react with oxygen (O2). Oxygen is generally not reactive with acids such as HCl.
Sodium chloride doesn't react with oxygen gas.
Yes, oxygen and grease can react and cause a fire under certain conditions, but typically they would not explode as in a chemical explosion. The combination of oxygen, heat, and flammable materials like grease can lead to combustion or fire hazards.
how do metals react with oxygen
Air contains oxygen which is necessary for the combustion process in a fire. When air is present, it allows the fuel to burn by providing oxygen molecules that react with the fuel at high temperatures, resulting in the release of heat and light. The flow of air also helps in maintaining the fire by supplying the necessary oxygen to sustain combustion.
Fire is a chemical reaction where the fuel substance combines with oxygen to produce heat and a new substance. Normal atmosphere has about 20% oxygen, so if you add oxygen to an already burning fire, the fuel is able to react more quickly, because of the extra available oxygen. The fire will get bigger and burn hotter.
