What else can I help you with?
Why does hydrogen pop louder when lit if it is first mixed with air?
The pop you hears is a result of the hydrogen reaction with oxygen. When it is mixed with air, all of the hydrogen is readily in contact with oxygen, and the reaction can proceed much more rapidly.
A substances ability to burn is an example of what?
The substance is said to be either flammable, inflammable, combustible.
Why is rusting a chemical change?
Rusting is a reaction which combines molecules to form other molecules: metal + oxygen -> rust. The definition of a chemical reaction is molecules turning into other molecules, so rusting is a chemical reaction.
What type of energy does a fire use?
Chemical potential energy. Fire is a chemical reaction caused by heat Fuel and oxygen (usually) The fuel is combusted exothermically (ie giving off heat) with oxygen which is a chemical reaction. This causes surrounding fuel to heat up a react exothermically with the oxygen, propagating the fire.
Why do you think that candle with plant would burn for a longer time?
Candle burns oxygen. Plant produces oxygen from Carbon Dioxide. plant produces oxygen, which is burned by candle. Candle lasts longer because more oxygen is present
What is the burning of substance called?
Burning is an oxidation reaction - a reaction with oxygen.
What chemical reaction where a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen?
One example of a chemical reaction where a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen is combustion. In combustion, a substance, such as a fuel like gasoline or wood, reacts with oxygen in the air to produce heat, light, and various combustion products like carbon dioxide and water vapor.
The type of chemical reaction that occurs whenever a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen?
It depends upon what you mean. H2O contains oxygen and alkali metals react explosively with it. Also, burning is formally called oxidation. Both happen rapidly and I hope I answered your intended question.
What element is needed for a substance to burn?
Oxygen is typically needed for a substance to burn. It combines with the fuel to undergo a chemical reaction that produces heat and light.
What is it called when a substance burns in oxygen?
When a substance burns in oxygen, it is called combustion. It is a chemical reaction that produces heat and light, usually accompanied by the release of carbon dioxide and water vapor.
What is the proper name for combustion?
The proper name for combustion is a chemical reaction in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen, giving off heat and light.
What do scientists call burning?
Scientists call burning a chemical reaction in which a substance combines rapidly with oxygen to produce heat and light, resulting in combustion.
What simple test might be undertaken to check if a chemical reaction produces oxygen?
glowing splint ... if it relights then the chemical reaction produces oxygen.
What is the name of the reaction when oxygen is removed from a substance?
The reaction is called oxidation.
What type of reaction involves oxygen and produces light and heat decomposition reaction double replacement reaction combustion reaction or combination reation?
The type of reaction that involves oxygen and produces light and heat is a combustion reaction.
What gas is used up when substances burn?
Oxygen is the gas that is used up when substances burn. The reaction between the substance and oxygen produces heat and light energy.
When a substance is combined with oxygen the substance is?
Often it's an oxide. For example, carbon burns in air to form its oxides, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. However, there are other possibilities. Hydrogen burns in oxygen to produce water.
