Name the gas in air which reacts with fuel?
oxygen must be present in order for fuel to burn.
What does combustion of alcohol mean?
It's when you burn something i.e. add oxygen to something. One of the products for complete combustion is carbon dioxide. For incomplete combustion which is when there isn't enough oxygen, then carbon monoxide is formed.
What is needed for fire to burn?
In order for fire to burn, there is someting called the fire tetrahedron. The things needed for fire to burn are as listed: Heat, Oxygen, Fuel(of any sort), and a Chmeical Reaction with all of the above. I learned this from the multiple firefighting classes i have taken.
How many molecules of oxygen are needed to burn one molecule of fuel?
That depends on the fuel. Natural gas, methane, needs 2 molecules of oxygen, but gasoline, octane, needs 17 molecules of oxygen.
What is need to burn fuel?
To burn a fuel, the other two things needed are oxygen and heat. Heat could come from a flame to start the fire (once the fire is started it continues to produce enough heat unless it runs out of fuel or oxygen, or is put out), or it could come from a spark.
How does rocket fuel burn in space without oxygen?
The rocket carries its own supply of oxygen with which to burn the fuel.
Why does oxygen not burn but help in burning?
Three things are needed for fire to burn, often referred to as the triangle of fire. Oxygen, heat and fuel, it is only the fuel that burns, the oxygen and heat together cause the fuel to burn.
Can oxygen be a fuel?
No, but most fuels need oxygen to burn.
What does oxygen mix with to burn fuel?

What does a flame need to burn?

What do your lungs fuel your bodies with?

Why does something need oxygen to burn?

Aeroplanes do carry oxygen cylinder to burn the fuel?
No. They just take oxygen from the air.
Does a fossil fuel burn in the air?
All fuels that 'burn' require air or an oxygen source for combustion. Therefore,fossil fuel also burn in the air.
What is needes for a fuel to burn?
Oxygen and heat to get things going
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.
