What is the gas that causes fire?

Oxygen is the gas that supports combustion and allows fires to burn. It combines with a fuel source and heat to sustain a fire.


If nitrogen is in the air will a fire not burn?

Nitrogen itself is not a flammable gas, so it will not support combustion. However, oxygen is necessary for a fire to burn, and air is composed mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. Removing oxygen, by displacing it with nitrogen, can help extinguish 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


Can turpentine burn in chlorine gas?

Yes, turpentine can react with chlorine gas to produce toxic fumes and volatile compounds. This reaction can result in a fire hazard due to the flammable nature of turpentine. It is important to avoid exposing turpentine to chlorine gas to prevent any potential hazards.


Does fire need air or oxygen?

The fire is fueled by oxygen in the air. There is no significant amount of hydrogen gas found in the atmosphere.Does the question relate to a laboratory experiment involving hydrogen gas? Or is the question a general one? Oxygen is not a fuel, but it is required to support combustion, or rapid oxidation. Hydrogen is combustible and can be used as fuel. If you burn hydrogen, the fire is being fueled by the hydrogen, not the oxygen, but without O2, the hydrogen would not burn.
