Do space heaters produce carbon monoxide?

Yes, you can. If there is not enough oxygen, you can always get some dangerous chemicals. Perfect burning of carbon: C + O2 -> CO2 But if there is not enough oxygen, this may happen: C + 1/2 O2 -> CO That is why you should let the wood to 'breathe'.


How dangerous and explosive is ammonium perchlorate?

It's a class 4 oxidizer, meaning it can kick start anything that can burn into burning. But by itself it isn't very dangerous (since there is nothing for it to help burn). Mixing ammonium perchlorate with some metal powders can create an explosive.


Which layer of atmosphere does most space debris burn up?

Most space debris burns up in the mesosphere, which is the layer of the atmosphere located between the stratosphere and the thermosphere. This is due to the high temperatures generated by the friction between the debris and the air molecules at this altitude.


Can you burn a candle in pure oxygen safely?

Yes you can. But you should only if safety precautions are observed. A match lit in pure oxygen will burn rapidly and furiously. The entirety of the combustible material, and the paper or wood stem as well, could burn up within seconds.

How is infrared dangerous?

They're not dangerous, on earth, because less amount of infra-red gets to us but sometimes it can give us tans, because sun radiation is infra-red and you can get sun burn, so you can say that it doesn't have much danger on human beings on earth, for in space you have to wear space suits and you have to have space shuttle to be safe on space, because space has far more dangerous infra-red radiation. so I would say that infra-red doesn't have much harm of humans beings on earth, but it is very harmful in space.
