What else can I help you with?
Does oxygen make something burn?
No it doesn't make something burn. But if something is already burning, it supports the burning. In the fire triangle, which is what makes a fire, it says that you need fuel, oxygen, and something else, that I tend to forget. So, technically, oxygen does make something burn, because you need that oxygen to help it and if you don't have that then it won't burn. So, I say yes, it does.
Why the candle could not burn when gas left in the jar?
When gas is left in the jar, it displaces the oxygen needed for the candle to burn. Oxygen is required for combustion to occur. Without enough oxygen present, the candle will not be able to sustain the flame and will extinguish.
If you put a match in pure oxygen will the oxygen burn?
No, oxygen itself does not burn. Oxygen only supports and accelerates combustion when there is a fuel source present. So, while the match may burn more intensely in pure oxygen, the oxygen itself does not burn.
What does something flammable burn in the presence of?
Most thing burn in the presence of oxygen.
How oxygen effects fire?
Oxygen is one of three things that must be present for a fire to exist. The three things are:an oxidizer (oxygen is the most common one),fuel (something to burn - that is to combine very rapidly in a chemical reaction with oxygen), anda source of ignition (a spark, heat, etc.)Remove any one of the three and there can be no fire. If you provide more oxygen the fire will burn hotter, or will ignite more easily or at a lower temperature. If you provide more fuel, the fire will burn longer.
What element must be present in order for something to burn?
Oxygen (O2) is required for combustion.
Why does something need oxygen to burn?
Technically hydrogen and helium do not need oxygen to burn, they burn by themselves, otherwise the object that needs burning must have oxygen as a supplimental fuel source.

Which other element must be present for petrol to burn?
As well as petrol you need oxygen and an ignition source

True or false fire will not burn without oxygen?
True, fire must have oxygen to burn.
Name the gas in air which reacts with fuel?
oxygen must be present in order for fuel to burn.
What two things must a fire have to burn?
Actually you need three things. Fuel-something that will burn, oxygen and heat. If you take any of the three things away the fire will die out.
If you put a match in pure oxygen will the oxygen burn?
No, oxygen itself does not burn. Oxygen only supports and accelerates combustion when there is a fuel source present. So, while the match may burn more intensely in pure oxygen, the oxygen itself does not burn.

Does pure hydrogen burn in the absence of air?
No hydrogen will not burn in the absence of air unless another oxidizer is present.
