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
What else can I help you with?
A necessary ingredient for burning?
Oxygen is a necessary ingredient for burning.
What is needed to keep something burning?
oxygen is necessary to keep anything burning...
What is necessary for burning?
You need a fuel, ignition, oxygen, and heat.
Does metabolism need oxygen to work?
Yes, oxygen is necessary when burning nutrients to produce energy.
Who discovered that oxygen are necessary of burning?
Joseph Priestley is credited with this discovery.
What gas is always used in burning?
Oxygen is the gas that is always used in burning. It is necessary for combustion to occur as it reacts with a fuel source to produce heat and light.
Why does carbon get produced when a Bunsen burner is on a safety flame?
The oxygen necessary for burning is not sufficient.
A gas that promotes burning?
Oxygen is a gas that supports combustion by providing the necessary element for burning to occur. It is essential for fuel to burn in the presence of oxygen, which allows for the release of energy in the form of heat and light.
What element is that is necessary for a substance to burn?
Oxygen is necessary for a substance to burn. It reacts with the substance in a chemical reaction known as combustion, releasing heat and light energy. Without oxygen, the substance will not be able to sustain a fire.
How does argon stop things burning at high temptures?
Argon displaces oxygen that is necessary for combustion. By flooding the environment with argon, the oxygen concentration is reduced, preventing the combustion process from occurring, which stops things from burning at high temperatures.
Which gas helps in burning?
Burning is combustion, which is an oxidation reaction that requires oxygen. Therefore oxygen promotes burning, as it is a reactant in the reaction, and higher concentrations of a reactant will result in a faster rate of reaction (collision theory).
Is oxygen a burning gas?
Oxygen, when mixed with a combustible substance, or gas and enough heat, will cause combustion, and is a gas. So it is indeed, a gas that burns.
