Anything that burns in the natural atmosphere, which is only about one fifth oxygen, would burn much faster in pure oxygen.

Why is nitrogen gas more than oxygen gas in the air?
oxygen is used by human and animals for respiration bt nitrogen do not. for consuming nitrogen plants need nitrogen fixation ths occurs on low scale on other hand oxygen is directly used so its cunsumbtion is more then nitrogen. another important point is that oxygen is used in burning, formation of water etc ths means ratio of cunsumbtion of oxygen is mor then nitrogen
What will happen if there is too much percentage of nitrogen?
if ther will be too much nitrogen so oxygen will decrease and we will be breathless .
What gas must be present for burning to happen?
Normally (that is in normal life); oxygen.
When burning magnesium ribbon is introduced into a jar of nitrogen gas?
Magnesium burns in the presence of sulfur dioxide because, the oxygen in the sulfur dioxide is able to bond with magnesium and produce an oxide.
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.
Chemical formula of nitrogen monoxide?
The chemical formula for nitrogen monoxide is NO. It consists of one nitrogen and one oxygen atom per molecule of nitrogen monoxide.
Why there are nitrogen bombs and nitro boosters if oxygen helps in burning?
Because chemical other than oxygen also boost burning rates.
What does fixed mean in biochemistry?
not quite sheer but it is not your momma and it has something to do with nitrogen and oxygen
What is the word equation for burning ammonia?
ammonia + oxygen --> nitrogen monoxide + water
Why does magnesium go out immedely in nitrogen?
Burning of magnesium (or anything else) requires continuing combination with oxygen. If a burning piece of magnesium is transferred to an atmosphere of nitrogen, no additional magnesium can react with oxygen because none is available for reaction.
Why did god made nitrogen more abundant than oxygen?
oxygen is used by human and animals for respiration but nitrogen do not. for consuming nitrogen plants need nitrogen fixation thus occurs on low scale on other hand oxygen is directly used so its cunsumbtion is more then nitrogen. another important point is that oxygen is used in burning, formation of water etc thus means ratio of cunsumbtion of oxygen is more then nitrogen ,if there was more oxygen then it would lead to a blast every time there was a spark
What is needed to keep something burning?
oxygen is necessary to keep anything burning...
What would happen to a burning candle if you put it in the space shuttle?
It would stop burning if there was no oxygen.
What is formed when nitrogen combines with oxygen when burning fossil fuels?
Various nitric oxides are formed.
What will happen if oxygen is less abundant than nitrogen?
It already is. Air is about 4/5ths nitrogen and about 1/5th oxygen (and about 1% "other stuff"). The current ratio of nitrogen to oxygen in air is about 4:1 as you can see.
