cloth burns the fastest then paper the second fastest and wood burns the slowest

The speed of oxidation (combustion) of a material is dependent upon several factors, including but not limited to the surface area of exposed material, available oxygen, moisture content and heat of combustion. All three of these materials can be caused to burn at a faster or slower rate than each other by varying their properties. A pile of folded newspapers, a pile of matchsticks and a pile of clothes, the matchsticks might burn faster, separate the clothes in layers with air pockets and add a fan the clothes might burn faster. crumple the paper into balls and that might burn faster. Use an accelerant like gasoline and that might help something burn even faster, because of a hotter flame.

Note: some types of cloth and paper do not burn at all.

Which paper burns faster newspaper notebook paper or toilet paper?

Toilet paper will burn faster than newspaper or notebook paper because it is thinner and less dense. Additionally, toilet paper is designed to break down quickly when exposed to moisture, making it easier to ignite and burn.

Which burns faster paper or wood?

Paper burn generally faster; but this depends also on the physical form of the material, humidity etc.


Does oxygen burn even faster than paper?

Yes, oxygen itself does not burn but it feeds the combustion of other materials, like paper, making fires burn more intensely. Oxygen speeds up the chemical reactions involved in fire, causing materials such as paper to burn faster in its presence.


What will burn faster a crumpled paper or a flat one?

stone is faster than paper because it has more mass so more gravity include on it

Why does paper burn faster than metal?

Paper is more highly flammable. Paper contain organic compounds as cellulose which are very flammable.


What happens when you burn a paper with lemon juice on it?

When you put lemon juice on a piece of paper, then place the paper on a heat source, the parts soaked with the juice will burn faster and turn a dark brown. This chemical reaction is based upon the properties that define acids and bases. The paper with the acid lemon juice is weakened by the acid, and will burn faster.


Which paper burns faster graph paper lined paper computer paper or construction paper?

The labels for your types of question are probably too vague or ambiguous to answer with 100% certainty. Typically, Graph and Lined paper will be made from the same stocks so should burn at the same rate. Computer paper has varying weights(15,18,20) and could manufactured from Groundwood, Virgin or Recycled content. The same can be said for construction paper as there are many different grades of that paper as well. Theoretically, going with the heaviest weights and best grades of all types listed above, the construction paper should burn the fastest. This will happen because construction paper is typically a softer surface which means it is more porous allowing oxygen to feed your fire.


Does crumpled paper burn faster than flat paper?

Yes, crumpled paper burns faster than flat paper because the crumpled paper has more surface area exposed to the flames, allowing for faster combustion. The increased surface area allows for better airflow and more efficient burning.


In order which paper will decompose faster notebook magazine construction paper computer paper or newspaper in 15 days in manure?

Newspaper will likely decompose faster in 15 days in manure compared to notebook, magazine, construction, and computer paper. This is because newspaper is typically made of less durable fibers and has less coating or additives, making it easier to break down.
