Does fire feed on oxygen?
Definitely yes.... Fire needs oxygen to burn... If that specific place in which fire is burning, runs out of oxygen, the flames will get extinguished. You can try this by covering a burning candle with an airtight box...
Does thermite work in space?
Thermite has its own oxygen source so it can burn without an outer source of oxygen, including underwater and in the vacuum of space. However, I do doubt that thermite can burn in space, since space is quite cold. It would just depend in how far away from the Sun you are when you light the thermite.
What does oxygen do for fire?
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.
How is lack of oxygen related to lack of energy?
We use oxygen to burn sugar to make ATP energy. ATP is cellular money and without it many processes cannot occur. Depletion in ATP energy can be felt by lack of energy.
What makes a peanut burn?
Peanuts are combustible because they are composed of oils and carbohydrates. What makes them burn is sufficient oxygen and a temperature increase that initiates the process.
What happens when coal is burn without oxygen?
Coal cannot burn without oxygen.
The more oxygen the muscles receive the more energy you have true or false?
False, while you need oxygen to release the energy in muscles (to move), once there is enough oxygen, adding more does not create more energy. The energy comes form the food you eat, not the oxygen used to burn it.
When fossil fuels burn do they produce oxygen?
No, the flame needs the oxygen to burn. Without oxygen, the flame would go out.
This element does not burn but combustion cannot occur without it?
Oxygen
How does rocket fuel burn in space without oxygen?

Did chlorine can burn without oxygen?
Burning of all materials involve oxygen.
Can an engine burn without air or oxygen?
NO!! (not to be harsh)
What happens when you remove oxygen from a wood fire?

Is this true without nitrogen in the air a fire will not burn?
yes
Which element of the periodic table can burn without oxygen?
It depends upon the group number.I mean oxides are basically burn when reacted with oxygen.
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.
