What else can I help you with?
Does fire feed on oxygen?
Definitely yes.... Fire needs oxygen to burn... If that specific place in which fire is burning, runs out of oxygen, the flames will get extinguished. You can try this by covering a burning candle with an airtight box...
Does thermite work in space?
Thermite has its own oxygen source so it can burn without an outer source of oxygen, including underwater and in the vacuum of space. However, I do doubt that thermite can burn in space, since space is quite cold. It would just depend in how far away from the Sun you are when you light the thermite.
What does oxygen do for fire?
Fire is the release of heat and light during the very rapid combination of oxygen with another substance that we call the fuel of the fire. Although there are other oxidizers that can perform a similar function, in most cases in everyday life you cannot have a fire without a source of oxygen.
How is lack of oxygen related to lack of energy?
We use oxygen to burn sugar to make ATP energy. ATP is cellular money and without it many processes cannot occur. Depletion in ATP energy can be felt by lack of energy.
What makes a peanut burn?
Peanuts are combustible because they are composed of oils and carbohydrates. What makes them burn is sufficient oxygen and a temperature increase that initiates the process.
The more oxygen the muscles receive the more energy you have true or false?
False, while you need oxygen to release the energy in muscles (to move), once there is enough oxygen, adding more does not create more energy. The energy comes form the food you eat, not the oxygen used to burn it.
How does rocket fuel burn in space without oxygen?
The rocket carries its own supply of oxygen with which to burn the fuel.
Can an engine burn without air or oxygen?
NO!! (not to be harsh)
Why cant a match burn on the moon?
>>>MoonBecause there is no oxygen, fire needs air to burn.
What happens when coal is burn without oxygen?
When coal is burned without oxygen, it undergoes a process called pyrolysis where it decomposes into volatile gases, tar, and char. This can produce useful byproducts such as charcoal and coal gas, which can be used in various industrial processes.
Is this true without nitrogen in the air a fire will not burn?
While nitrogen is a non-combustible gas that can be used to extinguish fires, it is not entirely accurate to say that without nitrogen in the air, a fire will not burn. Fires require oxygen to burn, and while nitrogen dilutes the oxygen concentration in the air and can help suppress fires, it is not the absence of nitrogen that prevents fires from burning.
Acids are flammable true or flase?
False. Acids are not flammable; they do not burn or support combustion.
Why can't something burn without oxygen?
Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance. Without oxygen you are missing one of the ingredients.
Can gasoline explode without oxygen?
No, gasoline requires oxygen to ignite and burn. Without oxygen, gasoline cannot undergo the combustion reaction necessary for an explosion.
Does sodium nitrate burn in an oxygen free atmosphere?
No, sodium nitrate does not burn in an oxygen-free atmosphere because combustion requires oxygen to support the chemical reaction that produces heat and light. Without oxygen, there is no source for the combustion reaction to occur.
Which element of the periodic table can burn without oxygen?
Phosphorus is an element that can burn without oxygen through a process called spontaneous combustion. When exposed to air, phosphorus can react with the oxygen in the air to produce phosphorus oxide and ignite.
Why the candle could not burn when gas left in the jar?
When gas is left in the jar, it displaces the oxygen needed for the candle to burn. Oxygen is required for combustion to occur. Without enough oxygen present, the candle will not be able to sustain the flame and will extinguish.
