No. Oxygen cannot burn on its own. But many materials will burn given sufficient heat and oxygen to allow them to combust, even fire-resistant materials.
The process of burning is simple oxidation (like rust) but at a much faster rate. Almost every material gives off heat when it oxidizes, and this supports further combustion. Some materials will also vaporize when heated, increasing the ability of oxygen to react with them.
Oxygen is a non-combustible gas. This is very confusing to a lot of people, because television and movies rarely get it right. Oxygen will not burn, and will not explode when exposed to a spark or ignition source. After all, combustion is the exothermic process of adding oxygen to a substance at a very high rate. What would be the reaction equation of burning oxygen? O2 + O2 -> 2O2? That isn't a reaction. Now, oxygen is necessary for combustion of other materials, and the higher the partial pressure of oxygen you have, the faster that reaction will progress. So a person's clothing, if saturated in a high partial pressure of oxygen, will ignite more easily and burn hotter and faster than it would with only room air. Under sufficient O2 partial pressure, some materials will spontaneously combust, or may change from fire resistant to being readily combustible. That's why you don't use petroleum products on oxygen O-rings, and you shouldn't smoke in an oxygen tent. The oxygen won't "catch on fire" but your clothing, the tent or the bed linens may, and with great enthusiasm.
Oxygen itself is not flammable, but, at high temperatures it is what causes things to burn.
Oxygen itself is not flammable, but can cause flammable substances to burn.
No, oxygen itself is not flammable, but it is needed for flammable materials to burn.
no there is only atoms in the air
Oxygen is extremely flamable
they are different isotopes of oxygen, oxygen-17 has one more neutron than oxygen-16 making it slightly heavier. Oxygen-17 will react slightly slower than oxygen-16 since it has more mass.
ratio between oxygen usage to oxygen uptake is called as Oxygen extraction ratio
4
Oxygen is colorless as a gas, but as a liquid it is pale blue.
Oxygen is both a compound and an element. In nature, Oxygen forms bonds with itself to form a compound consisting of two elemental oxygen atoms to form one compounded oxygen molecule. This is O2.
Flammable.
Yes, of course.
Yes. *Don't mix with flameable things
of course so you can cuddle with them , you can play with them, and you can even burn them they are extremely flameable HOPE I HELPED ;)
Very. It is usally used for camp fuel and other flameable things
Hardly, not very much but if you give it enough heat I would Assume it would lite on fire but not for sure.
What you say 'bout my muda?, Is that a bird r a plane no its a ball in your face, Extremeley flameable
no it isn't safe to drive.gas is highly flameable,and a gas leak will only lead to self destruction.
The alcohol is not heated in starch test because it's flameable,so will cause fire or disrupt the experiment.so results would be incorrect or not accurate.
Potassium nitrate itself is not flammable. Only when it is combined with something that has the potential to burn (sugar, wood chips, glycerin, etc), it can increase the flammability and burn rate of that substance.
A material that can easily undergo combustion when in the vicinity of an ignition source is known as a flammible solid. One division of flammible solids is called desensitized explosives.
Be very carefull that is a highly flameable substance!! My neighbors dryer caught fire from clothing that had varnish on it. Sorry that doesnt help just wanted you to be safe!!
