Argon gas cannot react with most substances, and can extinguish a flame if it displaces enough of the oxygen around the burning material.
Argon is used as an inert gas in electric arc welding to prevent oxygen from reacting with the heated materials, such as aluminum and titanium.

What gas to use for plasma cutting?
Oxygen and acetylene. A cutting head for an oxy-acetelyne torch has a trigger with greatly increases the oxygen in the mixture when activated. To cut, the excess oxygen in the flame basically burns the metal away.
What category does argon go under?
Argon, in group 18, period 3, is a noble gas.
What hazards can argon gas pose to humans?
In general none. However, argon is often used to clear out tanks which are filled with explosive or combustible gases. Argon, being a dense gas will collect at the bottom of such a tank and poses a risk of death by asphyxiation.
Why is a flame a good symbol for natural gas?
Because the flame is the only symbol they could think of XD
What type of flame the Bunsen burner would have with air hole open gas top full on?
Blue or heating flame.
Can you use argon and acetylene together?
acetylene is a flammable gas and relies on oxygen to burn. Argon would prevent a flame by displacing oxygen because of it's density in comparison to oxygen.
Explain why you would not exspect to be able to combine magnesium and argon to produce a useful substance?
Magnesium is a very reactive substance, rusts when in contact with the moist air and produces a white flame when lit on fire. Whereas Argon is a noble gas and is very inactive. Hence, it is impossible!

What is inert argon gas?
All argon gas is inert.
What instrument measures the purity of Argon gas?
An argon gas analyzer measures the purity of Argon gas. The analyzer can be used to determine the actual content of Argon gas in a specific sample.
Most abundant noble gas in atmosphere?
hydrogen or heliumhydrogen or helium
