Why will methane not burn in air until a flame is applied?
The three elements that make a fire are fuel, oxygen and heat. The methane is the fuel, oxygen is present in the atmosphere and the flame provides the heat.
Why does flame require air to burn?
fire needs oxygen to burn, because fire is a chemical reaction that needs oxygen. the fire triangle is what fire needs to burn and is this- heat, fuel, and oxygen.
What kind of fuel makes a lighter burn green?
It's not the fuel, it's the copper filament in front of the flame. It's also how they make green fireworks.
How does the fuel get to the flame?
by the wick the fuel gets to the flame
What is the chemical composition of a flame?
A flame is pure energy so it has no real chemical composition except from the chemical compositions of the oxygen and fuel (usually hydrocarbons) needed for it to burn. A flame requires fuel, oxygen and heat energy, although it gives off light and heat energy as well. The act of burning is reacting the fuel with oxygen in the air but the flame itself has no chemical composition.
What function does each part of the candle have?
The function of the wax is to fuel the flame, it works with the air in a room or wherever the candle is and make the flame burn brighter, releasing the Good or bad- smell of the wax. The wick is made up of braided cord or string and it holds the flame, the tip of the string curls down toward the candle and that makes the flame burn at full capacity, the whole function, basically of the candle is to make the flame burn strong and bright.
Why does candle wax disappear?
When the candle flame is burning, the flame heats the wax which melts it, the wick pulls in the liquid wax into the flame as fuel (this is why the wick doesn't just burn away). Think of a napkin soaking up water. The wax then burns in the flame and "disappears".
What is one hazard with the blue flame?
Yellow flame means there's not enough air to completely burn all the fuel, so more carbon monoxide is formed. - - - - - It isnt the blue flame is more dangerous because you cannot see it.
Why air mix with the gas in the barrel of the burner before the gas is burned?
Heat+oxygen+Fuel=FireHEAT IS MIXED WITH GAS TO MAKE A HOTTER FLAME
