What else can I help you with?
Does pure hydrogen burn in the absence of air?
No hydrogen will not burn in the absence of air unless another oxidizer is present.
What does something flammable burn in the presence of?
Most thing burn in the presence of oxygen.
Does magnesium burn in the absence of oxygen?
Magnesium can burn in the absence of elemental oxygen, yes. This is because it is such a strong reducing agent that it can essentially steal oxygen from substances such as water and carbon dioxide.
Must oxygen be present for something to burn?
Yes, oxygen is required for most substances to burn. During combustion, oxygen reacts with the fuel source to produce heat and light. This process is known as oxidation and is essential for fire to sustain itself.
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 do your muscles burn in the absence of oxygen?
The "burning" sensation you feel is not combustion. It is due to a buildup of lactic acid.
What is the name of the something from the air that metals gain when they burn?
The name of the substance metals gain when they burn in air is called oxygen. Oxygen is a reactive gas that combines with the metal atoms during the burning process, forming metal oxides.
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.
What would happen to something burning if there was only oxygen and no nitrogen?
If there was only oxygen and no nitrogen present, the burning process would be more efficient and the flames would burn brighter and hotter. Nitrogen in the air can act as a diluent, which can dampen the combustion process.
How will you prove that oxygen supports burning?
Oxygen supports burning through the process of oxidation, in which oxygen molecules react with the atoms of the burning material, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This can be proven by conducting controlled experiments in a controlled environment where oxygen is present, and observing how materials burn in its presence compared to in its absence.
Which gas in the air is needed for fuels to burn?
oxygen is needed for fuel to burn
What gas is required for ethanol to burn?
Ethanol requires oxygen to burn. During the combustion process, ethanol reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat.
