No. Oxygen itself is not flammable. Rather, it supports the combustion of flammable materials. Oxygen tanks do, however present a fire hazard. Normal air is 21% oxygen, while oxygen tanks carry 100% oxygen. A higher concentration of oxygen makes it easier to ignite flammable materials and allows a fire to burn hotter.
What else can I help you with?
Does methane spontaneously combust?
No, methane itself does not spontaneously combust. However, in the presence of oxygen and an ignition source, such as a spark, methane can ignite and burn.
What gas relights a glowing stick?
The gas that can reignite a glowing stick is oxygen. When oxygen comes in contact with the hot ember of the stick, it can cause it to combust and reignite.
Will methane gas combust and raise steam temperature further if added to steam 600 degrees C in a chamber?
Yes, if methane gas is added to steam at 600 degrees Celsius in a combustion chamber, the methane can combust to further raise the temperature of the steam. This process can yield more heat energy and increase the overall temperature of the system.
What is minimum concentration of oxygen required for combustion?
The minimum concentration of oxygen required for combustion is typically around 16% in air. Below this level, the fuel will not be able to sustain a flame or combust.
How many grams are in a tank of oxygen?
The weight of oxygen in a tank can vary based on its size and pressure. A standard medical oxygen tank, such as an E cylinder, typically contains around 680 grams of oxygen when filled to its full working pressure.
Does silver react with Oxygen to ComBust?
Silver does not combust as it is not a very reactive metal. It corrodes slowly by reacting with oxygen in the atmosphere.
What is a purpose of a piston?
It is used to compress the oxygen and fuel and cause it to to combust
Can anything explode in space?
Sure, things can explode in space as long as there is an oxygen source as well as something that will combust. A good example is the explosion on Apollo 13. There was an explosion when a spark occurred in the electric motor that stirred an oxygen tank in the service module.
Does methane spontaneously combust?
No, methane itself does not spontaneously combust. However, in the presence of oxygen and an ignition source, such as a spark, methane can ignite and burn.
What is the medical term meaning oxygen tank?
Oxygen tank!
What gas is needed for paper to burn?
Answer:Burning of wood is a process of combustion. By definition if something is undergoing combustion oxygen must be involved in the reaction.
When an electric current passes through water it causes the water to start to combust true or false?
False. When an electric current passes through water, it typically causes electrolysis, which splits water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen gases rather than causing combustion. However, if the hydrogen gas produced is ignited in the presence of oxygen, it can combust, but the current itself does not cause the water to combust directly.
Does c2h4 plus h20 create a combustion?
The only way C2H4 can combust is in the presence of oxygen. All combustion reactions must contain a hydrocarbon and oxygen.
What gas relights a glowing stick?
The gas that can reignite a glowing stick is oxygen. When oxygen comes in contact with the hot ember of the stick, it can cause it to combust and reignite.
Which would NOT be required safety equipment for a sea kayaker?
oxygen tank
Will methane gas combust and raise steam temperature further if added to steam 600 degrees C in a chamber?
Yes, if methane gas is added to steam at 600 degrees Celsius in a combustion chamber, the methane can combust to further raise the temperature of the steam. This process can yield more heat energy and increase the overall temperature of the system.
What is a 2002 Chevrolet Impala gas tank oxygen sensor?
There is NO Oxygen Sensor in the Gas Tank.....
