Yes, it does, as does everything that burns, as oxygen is one part of the "Fire Triangle", which is the three things anything needs to burn. The other two components of this triangle are: Fuel and Heat.

What happens to powdered charcoal over the non luminous flame?

When powdered charcoal is exposed to a non-luminous flame, it undergoes combustion. The heat from the flame ignites the charcoal, causing it to react with oxygen in the air, resulting in the production of carbon dioxide and heat. This process can also produce carbon monoxide if there is insufficient oxygen. The flame may appear brighter as the charcoal burns, and it will eventually turn to ash as it is consumed.


Does magnesium react to oxeygen?

Why does magnesium burn more in oxygen that in air?

First off, it doesn't burn more, it burns quicker. This is because It's reacting with the oxygen, and in a 100% oxygen environment there's simply more oxygen to react with (the air is 21% oxygen).


How to make fuel out of charcoal?

If oxygen is exposed to a glowing ember will it explode?

It should not explode. With what would the oxygen combust? About 20% of the air is oxygen. Oxygen does not readily combine with itself. However, if you put a spark into a cup of liquid hydrogen, I bet it would react rather violently. And there is a YouTube video of a fellow igniting charcoal with liquid oxygen. The oxygen does not explode, but the fire burns the charcoal really well. And the barbecue. And eventually the ground below the grill.
