Why do metals react with only oxygen when burnt in the air?
Oxygen is the most reactive component of air. So for nearly all metals that burn in air only the oxide is formed. There is one exception magnesium burns in air to form the oxide and also traces of nitride.
When hydrocarbons burn completely in an excess of oxygen the products are?
The products are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20).
What are made when hydrocarbon burn?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) when hydrocarbons burn in oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are formed
Why is it better to burn fuels in a good supply of oxygen?
If you have a good supply of oxygen you get a more complete burn, which means you get more energy out of the fuel and there are fewer products of incomplete combustion, which are often toxic
Is chloride flammable?
Chloride itself is not a substance. It is the ion formed by the element chlorine. Chlorine can react with oxygen but in most of its reactions it does not burn but rather causes other substances to "burn" much in the manner that oxygen does.
What is the product formed when Oxygen burns in air?
Oxygen can not burn in air.

What does combustion of alcohol mean?
It's when you burn something i.e. add oxygen to something. One of the products for complete combustion is carbon dioxide. For incomplete combustion which is when there isn't enough oxygen, then carbon monoxide is formed.
When metals burn what susbtances are formed?
Metals cannot 'burn'. Most likely, your 'burning' metal is enriched with other elements that burn. It can melt, it then just melts into liquid metal, then it is still metal.
When hydrocarbons burn completely in an excess of oxygen the products are?
The products are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20).
Hydrogen gas plus oxygen gas?
Nothing, but if they are allow to burn water vapours are formed with explosion.
Can a foil burn?
yes it will because it can burn through the kitchen foil!!!
If you burn copper in oxygen will the weight increase or decrease?
An oxide is formed and the mass is increased.
What is the substance formed when elements burn in oxygen?
Those would be the "oxides" of the elements burned.
What causes something to burn?
A combination of fuel, oxygen, and a heat source. Everything has an ignition point, that is a temperature at which it will burn if there is oxygen to support the 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 are made when hydrocarbon burn?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) when hydrocarbons burn in oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are formed
