What else can I help you with?
Why would there be no fire without oxygen?
Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable material. Without oxygen you are missing one of the ingredients.
What is a rapid reaction between fuel and oxygen resulting in fire.?
combustion
Why will a fire go out when there is no oxygen?
Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable material. Without oxygen the reaction cannot occur.
What is the reaction between alcohol and fire called?
Combustion -- but the reaction is between alcohol and oxygen -- fire is the process or the reaction itself.
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.
Is fire energy or matter?
Fire is a form of energy, not matter. It results from the rapid chemical reaction of a fuel with oxygen, releasing heat and light energy.
What would happen if you tried to burn oxygen?
Nothing. Oxygen itself is not flammable. Fire is a reaction between a flammable substance and oxygen.
Do fire extinguishers use oxygen?
No. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable material. Adding extra oxygen speeds up the reaction, making the fire burn even hotter and making it easier for the fire to spread.
What Happens When You Put Oxygen?
When you put oxygen on a fire, it helps in combustion by providing more oxygen molecules for the reaction. This usually results in the fire burning more intensely. However, the effectiveness of adding oxygen depends on factors such as the fuel source, temperature, and available heat.
Could oxygen start a fire?
Not on its own. To have a fire you need three ingredients: fuel, oxygen, and heat. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable fuel. The heat is needed to ignite and sustain the reaction. Our atmosphere is 21% oxygen, which makes fire possible here. Oxygen tanks, which contain pure oxygen, are a fire hazard because higher concentrations of oxygen make it easier for flammable materials to ignite and allow a fire to burn hotter and spread faster.
Why can't something burn without oxygen?
Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance. Without oxygen you are missing one of the ingredients.
Why fire needs oxygen?
A fire is nothing but a very fast chemical reaction where oxygen (or another oxidizer) combines chemically with the fuel to form an ash. If there is no oxygen, the chemical reaction cannot happen, so there is no fire.
