Can oxygen be ignited by a space heater?
Technically, no, but there still is a fire hazard. Oxygen itself is not flammable. It does, however support the burning of flammable substances; this is how fires burn normally. Oxygen tanks provide pure oxygen (nearly 5 times the natural concentration), which means that any flammable substances in contact with it will be more easily ignited and will burn hotter and faster if a fire starts.
What happens when substances burn in air?
Oxygen is used up.
Which gas in the air is one of the reactants when substances burn?
Oxygen.
What gas is used up when substances burn?
Oxygen is the gas that is used up when substances burn. The reaction between the substance and oxygen produces heat and light energy.
Does oxygen burn even faster than paper?
Yes, oxygen itself does not burn but it feeds the combustion of other materials, like paper, making fires burn more intensely. Oxygen speeds up the chemical reactions involved in fire, causing materials such as paper to burn faster in its presence.
How does a runner acquire oxygen debt?
When they burn through oxygen faster than their cells can get it, ie sprinting
Why does less dense wood burn faster?
more space for air (oxygen)
Is oxygen highly flamable?
No, oxygen itself is not flammable. However, it supports combustion, which means it helps other substances burn. Oxygen-rich environments can make fires burn hotter and more rapidly.
What colorless gas burns with oxygen?
Hydrogen is a colorless gas that burns with oxygen. If substances will burn in air, those same substance will burn better in oxygen.
What substances that must be supplied to the muscles at a faster rate during exercise?
oxygen
Does steel wool burn faster in air or pure oxygen?
Steel wool burns faster in pure oxygen compared to air. This is because pure oxygen provides a more efficient environment for combustion, allowing the steel wool to ignite and burn more rapidly. In air, the presence of other gases dilutes the oxygen, slowing down the burning process.
Does pure oxygen make things burn faster?
In general, no, it accelerates / increases fires. If the fire is based on methane, say, and the oxygen displaces all the methane, then the fire will go out. If the oxygen is passed through / across the fire at something approaching supersonic speed, if the fire doesn't go out, it *will* go somewhere else.
