When oxygen gas supports combustion is it called physical or chemical change?
Chemical: oxygen is one of the reactants in combustion, it does not only (passively) support it, but is taking part in it.Combustion is chemical anyhow.
Why is it that oxygen helps burning?
Combustion (or burning) is the reaction between a fuel and any oxidant. So by definition burning requires oxygem, As to why oxygen supports burning because it is very reactive and when any when any chemical is oxidiesed it is an exothermic reaction
Which gas in air supports combustion?
Oxygen.
Does adding oxygen increase calorific value of fuels?
No. Oxygen is not a fuel, so it has no calorific value. Some people confuse "combustion" (burning a fuel) with "supports combustion" (allows burning to take place). Oxygen supports combustion, but does not burn itself. Therefore it has no calorific value.
Does oxygen catch fire easily?
No. Oxygen is not flammable. Rather, it supports the combustion of flammable materials. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable material. Higher concentrations of oxygen will cause a fire to burn hotter and faster.
Is Supports combustion a physical or chemical or property?

What property of matter supports combustion?
chemical
Why is supports combustions a chemical property?
Oxygen supports combustion and undergoes a chemical change in which it becomes incorporated into carbon dioxide and water. CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O
What chemical supports the physical structure of terrestrial plants?
Lignin, a spiral shaped chemical, supports the structure of plants.
Is oxygen necessary for burning?
Combustion (or burning) is the reaction between a fuel and any oxidant. So by definition burning requires oxygem, As to why oxygen supports burning because it is very reactive and when any when any chemical is oxidiesed it is an exothermic reaction

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.
Does nitrous oxide support combustion?
yes,above 600C it supports combustion
Element that supports combustion?
. Oxygen, O.
