Fire is the release of heat and light during the very rapid combination of oxygen with another substance that we call the fuel of the fire. Although there are other oxidizers that can perform a similar function, in most cases in everyday life you cannot have a fire without a source of oxygen.

The first point is - oxygen has to be present to have a fire at all. In the fire, oxygen is combining with the burnable material. No oxygen, no fire. (Except for some examples that chemists would know about)
The second point is - the more oxygen, the faster and hotter the fire will burn.
So, in a nutshell, the effect oxygen has on fire is that it allows it to happen and can speed it up.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe fire needs oxygen to keep burning, so it there is no oxygen fire can not burn.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoFire needs oxygen to stay alight, without oxygen there cannot be a fire. The 3 things needed for a fire are Fuel, Heat, and Oxygen.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo, fire requires Oxygen and fuel ("Feul" as in, something that will burn, such as wood)
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe fire will normally burn more furiously because the additional oxygen will support the rapid combustion of the burning material.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThey somehow form an oil and together and mix with chemicals in the air and that how they form a fire.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoOxygen itself. Oxygen is one of the elements necessary for a fire to burn, and the increased presence of it helps to further fuel the fire.
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago- Oxygen support combustion; combustion is a reaction with oxygen, an oxydation.
- Hydrogen is burned with oxygen.

True or false fire will not burn without oxygen?
True, fire must have oxygen to burn.
Why does water usually put out fire?
Water stops oxygen from getting to the flame, and oxygen is the fire's food.
The key elements for a fire?
Fuel, Oxygen and Heat Fuel, Oxygen and Heat Fuel, Oxygen and Heat
What three things do you need to make a fire?
Fuel, oxygen and heat or an ignition source are the components needed for a fire.
Does fire use up oxygen?
yes, it burns oxygen at a constant rate, that rate is unknown to me
What is an oxygen fed-fire?
An oxygen-fed fire is a fire that has (most likely) pure oxygen fueling it. The air we breathe is composed of around 19% oxygen, therefore by adding more oxygen the fire will get hotter.
Fire and oxygen?
Fire is a process of rapid combination with oxygen.
What effects does oxygen have on fire?
Oxygen keeps the fire going. In some cases, it can make the fire larger, depending on the amount of oxygen around the fire.
How does oxygen distribute fire?
Oxygen does not distribute fire. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance. Fire cannot burn without oxygen, and the more oxygen there is, the hotter and faster a fire will burn. More oxygen also makes it easier for materials to ignite.
Why charcoal burns slowly when left undisturbed?
Because when you blow on the coals you are adding oxygen to the fire and oxygen fuels a fire. A fire would simply go out without any oxygen. Because when you blow on the coals you are adding oxygen to the fire and oxygen fuels a fire. A fire would simply go out without any oxygen.
Why is it that fanning burning wood keeps the wood burning?
Fanning them brings in more oxygen. With more oxygen you get more fire.
What happens when you remove fuel and oxygen from fire?
If you remove fuel, oxygen, or both from a fire, the fire goes out.
Is fire under the ocean?
Fire requires oxygen. There is no free oxygen in the ocean. Therefore there can be no fire at the bottom of the ocean.
Why cant you set a fire to the Moon's surface?
there is no oxygen on the moon, therefore, a fire could not start because in the fire triangle, (the materials needed to start a fire) the fire needs oxygen, which the moon does not have, fuel, and heat.
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
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 happens when you remove oxygen from a wood fire?
That is, what they already do. No kind of fire can burn without oxygen!
