What else can I help you with?
Does fire need air to breathe?
No, fire does not "breathe" air like animals do. Air is necessary for fire to burn because it contains the oxygen that fuels the combustion process. Without oxygen, fires cannot start or continue burning.
What gas will put a candle out?
If oxygen's excluded, any. As fire needs oxygen to burn, if it lacks this, it won't burn.
Why oxygen catches fire?
Oxygen itself does not catch fire, but it is a key component that allows fires to burn. Fire needs three things to occur: fuel, heat, and oxygen. When these three elements come together in the right proportions, a fire can ignite and burn. Oxygen supports the combustion process by reacting with the fuel in a fire to produce heat and light.
Does fire need fuel and oxygen to burn?
If by 'fire' you mean a flame, then yes. A super hot gas discharged from a nozzel will produce a flame even though no combustion takes place. Anything can be heated to a plasma stage by magnetic resonance, especially if there is some iron mixed in to get things started. Of course in all these situations you have to get energy from someplace, which is what fuel is ordinarily used for.
What is needed to make wood burn and what is released?
Wood needs heat, oxygen, and a fuel source to burn. When wood burns, it releases carbon dioxide, water vapor, ash, and potentially other gases depending on its composition.
Why does flame require air to burn?
fire needs oxygen to burn, because fire is a chemical reaction that needs oxygen. the fire triangle is what fire needs to burn and is this- heat, fuel, and oxygen.
Can you freeze fire?
Fire needs air to burn. It is impossible to freeze fire!
How does fire stop spreading when there are fire breaks?
Firebreaks stop or slow down fire by not giving it anything to burn. Fire needs something to burn or it will go out.
Why would firemen be out of a job if there was no oxygen?
A fire needs oxygen to burn.
How does fire get extinguished through a dry chemical used in fire extinguishers?
It suffoctaes the fire by depriving the fire of air which it needs to burn.
What do you use a fire blanket for?
putting over fires as it gets rid of the oxygen the fire needs to burn
Does a match work on the moon?
no. there is no atmosphere on the moon and fire needs oxygen to burn.
Do you burn wood on the fire or in the fire?
Neither... The wood is the fuel, but first it needs to become a gas. The gas is what burns.
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.
What does it mean to asphyxiate fire?
to suffocate the fire, Since fires needs oxygen to burn if you cut off its supply it will go out
Why does covering a burning object with a blanket help to extinguish a fire?
throwing a blanket over a small contained fire stops oxygen to the fire .to stop a fire you need to take out one of the three elements that are needed for a fire to burn witch are heat /oxygen/fuel
Why does a fire go out when you pour cold water on it?
Fire needs Oxygen gas to burn. The water pushes the Oxygen gas away from the fire, preventing it from burning.
