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.
What is the solubility of xenon?
XeF4 reacts with water - or even moisture in the air - to release pure xenon, hydrogen fluoride and molecular oxygen.
What happens if you put fire in a tube of oxygen?
If it's a normal fire, where normal everyday materials are burning, then pure oxygen will not put it out, it will make the fire burn stronger. Burning is a chemical reaction, and oxygen is a necessary reactant for combustion.
How is oxygen removed from iron ore?
Iron ore is mixed with coke (almost pure carbon from coal) and roasted at high temperatures. The carbon reacts with the oxygen to produce carbon dioxide leaving the elemental iron.
What reacts with other pure substances?
Fluor
Is pure oxygen dangerous?
Yes. Pure oxygen is a fire hazard.
What are disadvantages of oxygen?
Too much oxygen can lead to oxidative stress and damage to cells, tissues, and organs. Oxygen toxicity can also occur if high levels of oxygen are breathed for extended periods of time. Additionally, oxygen supports combustion and can increase the risk of fire.

Is it possible to prove that fire needs oxygen and not nitrogen?
Yes. In a lab, light two pieces of wood on fire. Close one in a chamber that is fed pure oxygen and another in a chamber that is fed pure nitrogen. The fire that is fed pure oxygen will burn hotter and brighter. The one that is fed nitrogen will go out.
Why are oxgen atoms neutral?
oxygen atoms are neutral because it has the same number of electrons and protons, which is what makes an atom neutral. oxygen does react with some substances. pure oxygen reacts with fire Oxygen atoms are not neutral they are very reactive. Oxygen molecules are less reactive than lone atoms but as still highly reactive.
Why does smoke come from a fire?
The lack of oxygen for pure cunsumption of the fuel. If the fire has enough oxygen for the amount of whatever you are burning, no smoke.
What is inside a fire?
1. Most of the time, a fire is just a chemical reaction of atoms. If you light a match, you are actually igniting phosphorus, the chemical on the match. The reaction reacts again with oxygen keeping the fire fuel to keep on staying lit. So basically a fire is made up of oxygen and other particles, just at a high temperature. Some belive that fire is a plasma, the fourth state of matter 2. Fire is pure energy.
How to make a fire burn at 1980 degrees Fahrenheit?
You blow pure oxygen on it or supply it with pure oxygen. It gets white hot to the point that it will blind you.
Is pure oxygen explosive?
No. Oxygen itself is not flammable, but it is necessary for fire. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable substance. Fire is possible on Earth because ordinary air is 21% oxygen. Pure oxygen is considered a fire hazard because higher concentrations of oxygen will make it easier for a fire to ignite and will allow it to burn hotter and faster than normal.
What caused the fire on Apollo 1?
A short in the wiring and a pure oxygen environment.
What is congress' response to the Apollo 1 fire?
No it was a accident a pure tank of oxygen caught fire, congress had no part in it.
Can pure iron be found on earths crust?
No because iron reacts with various substances including oxygen in the air to produce rust.
