Is this true without nitrogen in the air a fire will not burn?
yes
Does fire need air to breathe?
Fire needs oxygen to burn.
Does fire need fuel and oxygen to burn?
If by 'fire' you mean a flame, then yes. A super hot gas discharged from a nozzel will produce a flame even though no combustion takes place. Anything can be heated to a plasma stage by magnetic resonance, especially if there is some iron mixed in to get things started. Of course in all these situations you have to get energy from someplace, which is what fuel is ordinarily used for.
What is nitrogen gas used to make?
in the plumbing world nitrogen is used for purging the air, O2, out of medical gas lines or refrigeration lines for air conditioners. nitrogen is used because it does not burn like O2 thus leaving the inside of the pipe clean.
What happens when sodium is heated in the air?
When it gets hot enough it will catch fire and burn violently.
Is this true without nitrogen in the air a fire will not burn?
yes
How you use nitrogen gas to control fire in mine?
A fire needs oxygen to burn. Air contains oxygen. So passing in nitrogen stops incoming air refuelling the fire. Have to be careful if there are trapped people who of course need to take in oxygen as they breathe.
Why can not we lite a fire on the Moon?
For a fire to burn the fuel making the fire has to combine with Oxygen from the Air. As there is no Air on the Moon, it is impossible for a fire to burn on the Moon.
Can nitrogen catch on fire?
No. It would be very bad for us if they did, ad out atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen will react with oxygen, but only at high temperatures, and the process actually absorbs more energy than it gives out.
Can you freeze fire?
Fire needs air to burn. It is impossible to freeze fire!
Does fire need air to breathe?
Fire needs oxygen to burn.
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.
Why cant a match burn on the moon?
>>>MoonBecause there is no oxygen, fire needs air to burn.
Nitrogen Gas is filled with pressure in which type of Fire Extinguisher?
Because nitrogen gas bigest quantity in air.
Can a fire blanket put out a fire?
Yes, provided the fire is not too large and is not a chemical fire that can burn without air.
How does fire get extinguished through a dry chemical used in fire extinguishers?
It suffoctaes the fire by depriving the fire of air which it needs to burn.
How will burning be affected if nitrogenin the air to act as a diluents for oxygen?
The air is already close to 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon and about 0.04% carbon dioxide, therefore oxygen in the air is already diluted with nitrogen. This means that things don't burn nearly as fast as they would if the air were 100% oxygen, and things would burn more slowly if the air had more nitrogen, argon or carbon dioxide in it. Nitrogen doesn't help anything burn, but it will burn itself if there is oxygen present and the temperature is over about 900 deg. F. That is why automobile and jet airplane exhausts contain some nitrogen oxides. Neither argon or carbon dioxide will burn not matter how high the temperature is. This may seem strange at first, but oxygen is not flammable. Oxygen itself doesn't burn, but it is necessary for other things, called fuels, to burn. Anything that burns is called a fuel. To cause a fire, you need a fuel, and oxidant, and a source of ignition, like a spark or a flame or something very hot. Oxygen isn't the only thing that will cause things to burn. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is very effective at making things burn, as does fluorine or chlorine gas.
