What else can I help you with?
Does pure hydrogen burn in the absence of air?
No hydrogen will not burn in the absence of air unless another oxidizer is present.
If you put a match in pure oxygen will the oxygen burn?
No, oxygen itself does not burn. Oxygen only supports and accelerates combustion when there is a fuel source present. So, while the match may burn more intensely in pure oxygen, the oxygen itself does not burn.
Can oxygen be dangerous?
Yes. Oxygen is needed for flammable objects to burn. In increased concentrations oxygen will cause flammable materials to burn faster, and more intensely and allows them to ignite at lower temperatures.
Does steel wool burn faster in air or pure oxygen?
Steel wool burns faster in pure oxygen compared to air. This is because pure oxygen provides a more efficient environment for combustion, allowing the steel wool to ignite and burn more rapidly. In air, the presence of other gases dilutes the oxygen, slowing down the burning process.
How to make a fire burn at 1980 degrees Fahrenheit?
You blow pure oxygen on it or supply it with pure oxygen. It gets white hot to the point that it will blind you.
What substances burn faster in oxygen?
Any substance that burns in air is likely to burn faster in pure oxygen, if all other conditions are equal.
What do your lungs fuel your bodies with?
Lungs provide the body with oxygen. Oxygen is not exactly a fuel, but oxygen is necessary in order to burn fuel. Fuel for the body comes in the form of food, and oxygen is necessary to metabolize the food.
Is pure O flammable?
Pure oxygen (O2) itself is not flammable, but it supports combustion. In an oxygen-rich environment, materials that are normally non-flammable can ignite and burn much more easily. Therefore, while oxygen does not burn, it significantly enhances the flammability of other substances.
What is the equation for the test for pure oxygen?
The test for pure oxygen can be conducted using a glowing splint. When a glowing splint is introduced into a sample of oxygen, it will reignite and burn brightly if the gas is indeed pure oxygen. This reaction occurs because oxygen supports combustion more effectively than air. Therefore, the presence of pure oxygen can be confirmed by the splint's reaction.
Will staying in a place with just oxygen make you die?
yep. It will burn your lungs so yes you will die. ↲ too muc h oxygen will make your lungs burn too not trying to make you paranoid or anything if your breathing is normally just don't in to a place with just oxygen. ↲ hope i answered you question
Does pure oxygen make things burn faster?
In general, no, it accelerates / increases fires. If the fire is based on methane, say, and the oxygen displaces all the methane, then the fire will go out. If the oxygen is passed through / across the fire at something approaching supersonic speed, if the fire doesn't go out, it *will* go somewhere else.
Is pure oxygen explosive?
No. Oxygen itself is not flammable, but it is necessary for fire. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable substance. Fire is possible on Earth because ordinary air is 21% oxygen. Pure oxygen is considered a fire hazard because higher concentrations of oxygen will make it easier for a fire to ignite and will allow it to burn hotter and faster than normal.
