Will oxygen cans explode in space?

No, oxygen cans will not explode in space. They are designed to withstand fluctuations in pressure and temperature, so they are safe to use in space environments.


Why is it dangerous to allow grease or oil to come in contact with oxygen cylinder valve?

Grease or oil can react with oxygen under pressure and can lead to a fire or explosion when near an oxygen cylinder valve. The combustion of grease or oil in the presence of pure oxygen can be highly flammable and hazardous. It can cause the oxygen in the cylinder to ignite, leading to a potential explosion.


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.


Oxygen tanks can explode if the gas is ignited why is this?

Oxygen itself is not flammable, but it can accelerate the combustion of other materials, making fires burn faster and hotter. If an oxygen tank is involved in a fire or exposed to a spark, the increased oxygen concentration inside the tank can lead to a rapid buildup of pressure, causing the tank to explode.


Can gasoline explode without oxygen?

No, gasoline requires oxygen to ignite and burn. Without oxygen, gasoline cannot undergo the combustion reaction necessary for an explosion.

Would dynamite explode in space?

Dynamite requires oxygen to explode, so it would not explode in the vacuum of space where there is no air. Without oxygen to fuel the explosion, the dynamite would not be able to detonate.

What causes oxygen to explode?

A contact with hydrogen or organic compounds at a high temperature.


Will a room of 100 percent oxygen explode with a spark from electrostatic discharge?

yes


Why do carrots explode in the microwave?

The same with beans, they start to expand in too much heat and eventually explode.


Does hydrogn implode or explode?

Hydrogen is highly flammable and can explode when exposed to a spark, flame, or heat source in the presence of oxygen. The explosion occurs due to the rapid combustion of hydrogen gas with oxygen in the air.

Does 2 to 1 ratio of hydrogen and oxygen explodes?

No it dosent explode Hydrogen 2 Oxygen ( aka H2O ) is water lol


What if the air was pure oxygen?

we'd probably explode, because Oxygen on it's own is highly unstable and about 75% of air is Nitrogen
