This really depends upon the kind of gas you are talking about. Nitrogen is a gas, and it does not react with oxygen at normal temperatures. Methane does react very readily with oxygen, although even then, you would need some kind of spark to set it off. A methane oxygen mixture does not so much burst into flames, as explode. It would burn all at once.

In the presence of fluorine (a reactive gas), steel wool will rapidly combine with the fluorine and any oxygen to generate substantial heat, possibly enough to burst into flames.
What would happen to a cell if it were placed into a solution of lower osmolarity?
it would burst
Why percentage of nitrogen in air is higher?
That's simply the way earth's atmosphere evolved. And fortunate for us - if the earths atmosphere was 100% oxygen, the planet would have burst into flames long ago! Earth's atmosphere is 79% Nitrogen.
What would happen if I threw a bottle of nail polish remover in the fireplace while lit?

What would happen if you were to use iron powder instead of steel wool in an oxygen and steel wool experiment?
That depends on how fine the powder is. if it is like sand, it probably wont burn that easily, but if it is as fine as flour, then it will burst into flames in 1 second
What would happen if Mr T and Chuck Norris walked into the same building?
the building would burst into flames because no one building can contain that much awsomeness
What will happen if oxygen is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere?
Other materials that are not combustible or only very slightly combustible under normal conditions can become very combustible and hazardous when oxygen levels are high. Also, many things will be hot or will smolder when deprived of air and will suddenly burst into flames when exposed to the oxygen that's in our air. Since oxygen is required for the burning we see, the sudden combustion in these examples would be more dangerous if the oxygen concentration were higher.
Can you freeze a flame?
No, because any flame has heat , and if you try to freeze it , the freezing agent would either: a) melt the freezing agent...... b) burst it into flames...... c) or both.
What would happened if a cell containing many dissolved solutes placed in pure water?
Water would enter the cell via osmosis and it would finally burst.
What would happen to a jellyfish if it were placed in a freshwater lake?
Water would diffuse into the cells of the jellyfish, causing it to bloat up and possibly burst.
