What will burn faster a crumpled paper or a flat one?
stone is faster than paper because it has more mass so more gravity include on it
How does oxygen affect how long a candle burns for?
Oxygen is necessary for combustion to take place. When a candle burns, it reacts with oxygen in the air to produce a flame. Increasing the oxygen supply will result in a hotter and more efficient burn, causing the candle to burn more quickly. Conversely, reducing the oxygen supply will cause the flame to burn more slowly or even extinguish.
Why does nitrogen burn magnesium?
Nitrogen does not burn magnesium. In order for magnesium to burn, it requires oxygen as the oxidizing agent. When magnesium reacts with oxygen in the air, it produces magnesium oxide and releases a considerable amount of heat and light.
When a candle burns wax undergoes a combustion reaction would a candle burn longer in the open or when covered with an inverted glass jar?
The candle burning in the open will burn longer, because it has easy access to oxygen to sustain the reaction. The flame of the candle burning under the jar will go out quickly, since it will use up its available oxygen faster than the oxygen can be replenished. Even if the jar is open at the bottom, the heat, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide produced by the flame will prevent sufficient oxygen from getting to the flame to feed it.
What happens to methane when burned in little oxygen?
No methane wont burn in oxygen free atmosphere Because you need oxygen to burn Methane. Methane by itself, even in the presence of lightning and comet strikes, is a perfectly safe gas. so methane does not burn in absence of oxygen Vishal Rijhwani

Does paper or construction paper burn faster?
cloth burns the fastest then paper the second fastest and wood burns the slowest The speed of oxidation (combustion) of a material is dependent upon several factors, including but not limited to the surface area of exposed material, available oxygen, moisture content and heat of combustion. All three of these materials can be caused to burn at a faster or slower rate than each other by varying their properties. A pile of folded newspapers, a pile of matchsticks and a pile of clothes, the matchsticks might burn faster, separate the clothes in layers with air pockets and add a fan the clothes might burn faster. crumple the paper into balls and that might burn faster. Use an accelerant like gasoline and that might help something burn even faster, because of a hotter flame. Note: some types of cloth and paper do not burn at all.
Why does a shuttle of a rocket needs to have a tank containing oxygen?
While oxygen itself is not flammable, oxygen readily supports combustion. Adding oxygen to a flammable material will cause it to burn much faster and much hotter. You can see this demonstrated very easily by watching a welder at work. The welder uses acetyline as the flammable and by adding oxygen the acetyline becomes hot enough to weld or even cut metal. When the acetyline runs out the oxygen itself does not burn. Now back to the shuttle. By mixing liquid oxygen with the booster fuel they can get a much hotter and faster burn creating much more power from the amount of fuel they have on hand. Liquid oxygen is used because you can carry a much larger amount. One gallon of liquid oxygen expands to enough gas when as it vaporises to replace several cylinders.
What is easiest to burn a papercharcoalmatchstick or sulfur powder?
Sulfur powder tends to burn more easily than paper, charcoal, or even matchsticks.
How does oxygen affect how long a candle burns for?
Oxygen is necessary for combustion to take place. When a candle burns, it reacts with oxygen in the air to produce a flame. Increasing the oxygen supply will result in a hotter and more efficient burn, causing the candle to burn more quickly. Conversely, reducing the oxygen supply will cause the flame to burn more slowly or even extinguish.
Is oxygen flameable?
No. Oxygen cannot burn on its own. But many materials will burn given sufficient heat and oxygen to allow them to combust, even fire-resistant materials. The process of burning is simple oxidation (like rust) but at a much faster rate. Almost every material gives off heat when it oxidizes, and this supports further combustion. Some materials will also vaporize when heated, increasing the ability of oxygen to react with them.
What is a zigzag paper?
Zigzag paper is a type of rolling paper that is typically used for rolling cigarettes or other smoking materials. It is characterized by its zigzag pattern along the paper, which can help ensure an even burn when smoking.
What discs are best to burn music 40X or 52X CD?
It will depend on the drive you are using to burn the disc. A "faster" disc will only be as fast as the drive can burn the files and even then it will fluctuate so it really is not that important.
How can an oxygen-acetylene torch burn underwater?
An oxygen-acetylene torch can burn underwater because it produces its own oxygen supply. The torch separates water into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen gases, then uses the oxygen to support the combustion of the acetylene. This allows the torch to continue burning even in an underwater environment.
A candle will not burn in outer space even if supplied with oxygen why?
It's too cold. The strange thing about candles is that the solid candlewax does not burn. It evaporates and the gas burns.
What can burn?
Various materials can burn, including wood, paper, fabric, oil, gasoline, and natural gas. When these materials are exposed to a heat source with sufficient oxygen, they undergo a chemical reaction called combustion, releasing heat and light as they are consumed. It's important to handle and store flammable materials properly to prevent accidental fires.
Do different types of stars burn different fuel?
Yes, young stars burn Hydrogen and produce Helium. As they age, they often turn into red giants, and at that time they burn the Helium, making Oxygen and Carbon. Very large stars can even burn the Oxygen and Carbon, making even heaver elements, such as Iron.
