Why is carbon dioxide a by-product of fire?
Fire is a chemical reaction that occurs when a flammable substance reacts with oxygen and forms oxides. Most flammable substances on Earth contain carbon, and so will produce carbon dioxide when burned.
Why will a fire go out when there is no oxygen?
Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable material. Without oxygen the reaction cannot occur.
Why oxygen is not explosive?
Oxygen in and of itself is not flammable. Rather it supports the combustion of flammable materials.
What is the behavior of carbon?
flammable
Does oxygen burn even faster than paper?
No. Oxygen is not flammable. Rather, it is what allows flammable materials to burn.
Is carbon monoxide flamable?
No, however, heated carbon monoxide will readily bond with oxygen to remove it from ores but it not "flammable".
Why would there be no fire without oxygen?
Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable material. Without oxygen you are missing one of the ingredients.
Does flammability of oxygen depends on the no of its molecules?
Oxygen is not flammable; but because oxygen is an oxidizing agent burning is not possible without oxygen.
Why is carbon dioxide a by-product of fire?
Fire is a chemical reaction that occurs when a flammable substance reacts with oxygen and forms oxides. Most flammable substances on Earth contain carbon, and so will produce carbon dioxide when burned.
Why can't something burn without oxygen?
Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance. Without oxygen you are missing one of the ingredients.
Is liquified oxygen flammable?
Oxygen is not flammable but is necessary for combustion.
Why will a fire go out when there is no oxygen?
Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable material. Without oxygen the reaction cannot occur.
Is carbonate flammable?
Carbonates are generally not flammable.
What is the chemical breakdown of carbon monoxide?
When you burn CO--it is very flammable--the balanced equation is 2CO + O2 = 2CO2.
Flammibility of oxygen?
Oxygen is not flammable
Why oxygen is not explosive?
Oxygen in and of itself is not flammable. Rather it supports the combustion of flammable materials.
Is carbon the element flammable?
Carbon Graphite is flammable if you get hit hot enough it will catch on fire
