To catch a fire three substances like Fuel, oxidizer and an igniton are required. Here, Oil is nothing but mixture of Hydrocarbons i.e highly flammable & Oxygen is an Oxidizer. Therefore, on a small spark or Igniton Oil can explode and catch fire in presence of oxygen. Even without a direct ignition, oil can explode when oil cross it's flashpoint in enriched Oxygen environment.

What do you get when you mix oxygen hydrogen sodium and sodium?
When you mix oxygen, hydrogen, sodium, and sodium together, you may not get a stable compound. Sodium is highly reactive with water, and can potentially form sodium hydroxide and release hydrogen gas. This reaction can be explosive, and should be done with caution.
Is gasoline more explosive than gas?
In general gasoline is not more explosive then gas although it depends on the conditions and the gas. Probably you are referring to natural gas, the gas piped into homes which is predominantly methane. In general flammable gasses are more explosive than flammable liquids because they are mixed up with atmospheric oxygen. This is why modern cars have fuel injection which sprays the petrol to make it more easily combustible. In fact liquid petrol is not explosive at all but because it is volatile a layer of vapour forms above the surface of the liquid which is explosive. The mix of fuel and oxygen is the critical factor in whether something is explosive. Some gases, such as the noble gases are not flammable at all.
Does oil and water mix?
No, oil and water do not mix because they have different molecular structures. Oil is non-polar, while water is polar, so they do not have the necessary interactions to mix together. This is why they separate into distinct layers when combined.
Why can't you mix hydrogen and air?
Mixing hydrogen and air can be dangerous because hydrogen is a highly flammable gas, and when mixed with oxygen in the air, it can lead to explosions or fires. The combination of hydrogen and air creates a highly explosive mixture that can ignite easily in the presence of a spark or heat source. Special precautions and safety measures must be taken when handling or storing hydrogen to prevent accidents.
What happens when oil is mixed with oxygen?
When oil is mixed with oxygen, it can undergo oxidation and form peroxides, aldehydes, and other compounds that can contribute to off-flavors and odors. This process can also lead to the degradation of the oil, causing it to become rancid.
How does oxygen and acetylene help pump a car tire?
Not a good idea. That is an extremely explosive mix.
Why mix oil and air is explosive?
Oil can burn. If finely dispersed in air, it can burn real fast. So fast that it'll look like an explosion.
Why do we use oil to store group 1 metals?
group 1 metals are stored under oil because they are so reactive, they will react with the oxygen and water in the air if you leave them unprotected, keeping them under oil prevents this from happening, as water and oxygen can't pass through the oil and get to the metal. . .hope this helped pall =].
What is Ammonium nitrate validity as explosive?
Ammonium nitrate is not explosive, it is an effective oxidizer. Mix it with a fuel and you have explosive.
When you mix fire with creamer. What happens?
an explosive fuel to ignite
Which is strong explosive amongTNT or gun powder or liquid oxygen or gun cotten?
TNT. Liquid Oxygen is not an explosive.TNT
What do you get when you mix oxygen hydrogen sodium and sodium?
When you mix oxygen, hydrogen, sodium, and sodium together, you may not get a stable compound. Sodium is highly reactive with water, and can potentially form sodium hydroxide and release hydrogen gas. This reaction can be explosive, and should be done with caution.
Why does oil and oil not mix?
Oil and oil will mix.
Can you safely carry oxygen in car trunk?
For the TEMPORARY transport of portable medical oxygen containers it is permitted. However (in the US) bottled Oxygen is considered an explosive danger (oxygen itself is not explosive but exposed to flame the rapid accelerant nature of oxygen is an explosive reaction). It would be foohardy at best and reckless at worst to make this a regular practice.
Is water and oil an element compound or mixture?
Water and oil do not mix with each other. It is a mixture.
When a plastique explosive explodes what is the chemical reaction?
Any fire or explosive need oxygen to burn but with explosives the oxygen is in the molecule and it reacts with itself. Fuels need external oxygen to cause a explosion. The chemical reaction varies depending on what compound were used to prepare the explosive normally a nitrate (NO, providing the oxygen) and carbon (C, as the fuel).
How to mix oil phow to mix oil paintaint?
To mix oil paint you have to choose the colored pigment and add it to the oil medium.
