Can salt make a fire burn hotter?

No, salt does not make a fire burn hotter. Salt can actually have the opposite effect as it can help to smother a fire by cutting off the oxygen supply. It is not recommended to use salt to try to increase the intensity of a fire.


What gas would make a candle burn for longer?

Usually oxygen, primarily because it is how fire is made. But for longer, there isn't a possible way to make it burn 'longer' with gas, but more rather use wax and string that are more durable to fire. Or alternatively you can put a plant near the fire (out of burning range) to give the fire as much oxygen as possible. hope it helps


How is mixing the colors of light different than mixing colors of paint?

Mixing colors of light involves additive color mixing, where different colored lights are combined to create new colors. Mixing colors of paint involves subtractive color mixing, where different pigments are combined to absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others, resulting in the perception of different colors.


What would happen if you mixed fire with oxygen?

If you mix fire with additional oxygen, it would likely cause the fire to burn more intensely or spread more rapidly due to increased fuel supply. The additional oxygen would support combustion and increase the rate of the chemical reaction, making the fire burn hotter and faster.


Does oxygen make something burn?

No it doesn't make something burn. But if something is already burning, it supports the burning. In the fire triangle, which is what makes a fire, it says that you need fuel, oxygen, and something else, that I tend to forget. So, technically, oxygen does make something burn, because you need that oxygen to help it and if you don't have that then it won't burn. So, I say yes, it does.

Why do flames burn brighter sometimes when you blow on them?

They get brighter because fire uses oxygen to burn. Fire needs oxygen heat and fuel. Without any of these you will have no fire. So blowing more oxygen into a fire will make it stronger.
