Wood such as paper will burn at 451 degrees Fahrenheit. How it necessarily burns is subject to how much moisture is actually in the wood.

At what temperature does latex paint burn?
it burn at 420 degrees Fahrenheit
Will christmas lights burn cork?
yes, so be careful or it will burn into a ring of fire
What temperature does paper burn?
451 degrees Fahrenheit
Example of energy transformation from chemical potential energy to thermal energy?
A log burning in a fire place.
Does a fire need fuel oxygen and heat to burn?
Yes it does. If either fuel oxygen or heat were not sufficient or absent, fire would not be able to be sustained or ignited. :)
Why can log of wood no be lightened by matchstick but a paper?
For something to burn, it has to be heated to the point where it can catch fire. Wood CSN stand fairly high temperatures, and a match hasn't enough energy to raise the temperature high enough.
What is used to burn steel?
Fire can burn still. Now I am not saying you can go up to a piece of still and light it on fire, you would need a really high temperature to do it.
Can a fire still burn after dirt has been put on it?
Absolutely. Covering a fire with soil is intended to extinquish it by depriving it of oxygen. If you don't deprive the fire of oxygen, it will continue to burn as long as fuel is available and its temperature supports combustion.
What matter doesn't catch fire?
Fire cannot start without oxygen, so some closed containers will not burn. Wood and other products treated with fire retardant may also not burn. Metals may not fuel a fire, but would be affected if the temperature is right.
What is the name given to the chemical reaction that result in fire?
Fire(Burning) is a chemical change. Once you burn a log, you won't get the log back, that's how it's a chemical change. Also, Fire needs Oxygen (O2) to burn and stay alive but with too much Carbon Dioxide (CO2) it will die out.
Why does a match burn quicker than a log?
the match is smaller then the log.
What makes fire burn at different temperater?
One way for a fire to burn at a different temperature is it's wood soft wood such as pine burn fast and hot but hard wood such as muscle wood burns slower and cooler but still hot enough to burn you so don't touch it
Explain the difference between flash point and fire point?
Flash point is the temperature at which a flash will occur across the face of a liquid and go out. Fire point is the temperature at which a flash will occur above the liquid and the resultant fire will continue to burn.
How do you make yellow fire?
Fire can be made yellow by using a fuel with a low ignition point. If the flame is kept at a relatively low temperature it will burn yellow.
Is a fire load of a log greater before it is chopped into kindling?
Technically "no", Practically "yes": Technical Answer: Weight of the log in pounds x 8,000 btu/pound = btu total fire load, which would not change by fragmenting the log into chips. This answer ignores the burn time required in each case, see practical answer below. Practical answer: Duration of fire time in minutes/hours required to completely reduce the entire mass of wood to heat, light, smoke and ashes is dependent upon the surface to mass ratio, or simply put, the log would take longer to burn up than would the same mass of wood reduced to chip sized particles. The consequence: the intensity of the chip fire would peak at an earlier and higher heat release rate than would the log fire, thus the practical answer: at peak intensity the chip fire would require a higher water flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) to control/extinguish than would the log fire.
Are parachutes fireproof?
They are not fireproof but fire resistant. Fireproof means not burnable, such as a fireproof vault door in a bank. Fire resistant means it can resist fire up to a certain burn time or temperature.
Does fire burn compounds?
