What else can I help you with?
Does the phosphorus cycle include the atmosphere?
Yes, the phosphorus cycle does include the atmosphere but in very small amounts. Phosphorus can enter the atmosphere through volcanic eruptions, dust particles, and some industrial processes, but the atmosphere is not a major reservoir for phosphorus in the way it is for carbon, nitrogen, or water.
Do meteors have a atmosphere?
Meteors themselves do not have an atmosphere. They are objects that enter the Earth's atmosphere, where they burn up due to friction with the air. The bright streak of light that is produced is known as a meteor or shooting star.
Why cant a match burn on the moon?
>>>MoonBecause there is no oxygen, fire needs air to burn.
What is most of the air in the air in the atmosphere made up of?
what is most of the air in the atmosphere made up of
What causes the streak of light observed when a meteoriod enters Earth's atmosphere?
The streak of light observed when a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere is caused by friction between the incoming object and the air molecules in the atmosphere. This friction generates intense heat, causing the meteoroid to superheat and ionize the surrounding air, creating the luminous trail that we see as a streak of light.
Which element of the periodic table can burn without oxygen?
Phosphorus is an element that can burn without oxygen through a process called spontaneous combustion. When exposed to air, phosphorus can react with the oxygen in the air to produce phosphorus oxide and ignite.
What is white powder if you burn it and it turns red?
The white powder is likely phosphorus. When phosphorus is burned in air, it produces white fumes and eventually turns into phosphorus pentoxide, which appears as a red powder.
Name the metal that can be burn in absence of air?
This is a badly worded question, I believe "burning" requires the oxygen in air. Substances such as Phosphorus react with air to burn, and may continue this reaction when submerged. But I do not believe this is what you mean
What element whose name light-bearing burns spontaneously in air?
Phosphorus is the element that ignites spontaneously in air due to its high reactivity. When exposed to oxygen, phosphorus can catch fire and burn brightly, producing light, hence the nickname "light-bearer."
Does the phosphorus cycle include the atmosphere?
Yes, the phosphorus cycle does include the atmosphere but in very small amounts. Phosphorus can enter the atmosphere through volcanic eruptions, dust particles, and some industrial processes, but the atmosphere is not a major reservoir for phosphorus in the way it is for carbon, nitrogen, or water.
Does white phosphorus burn easily?
White phosphorus is very flammable.
Is phospherous abundant in the atmosphere?
Phosphorus is not a component of the atmosphere.
Which metal burns in air?
Sodium, Potassium, and Phosphorus all burn upon contact with air.
How does carbon and nitrogen affect the atmosphere?
Carbon affects the atmosphere when humans burn fossil fuels into the air and other chemicals
Which point does phosphorus catch fire?
Red phosphorus burn at approx. 200 0C.
What is used in matchstick that it makes it burn?
phosphorus
Why phosporus kept in water?
Potassium is a soft metal which reacts violently (spontaniously combusts) with both water and oxygen, so both must be excluded, by storing it in paraffin or kerosene. Phosphorus is a non metal .White phosphorous is kept under water because it reacts with oxygen but not water. Red phosphorus (the allotropic form P4, which occurs when white phosphorus is heated above 275`C) is more inert and does not need to be kept in water to exclude air.
