What else can I help you with?
Is combution a reaction?
Yes, combustion is a chemical reaction in which a fuel (such as gasoline) reacts with an oxidizer (such as oxygen) to release energy in the form of heat and light. This reaction typically produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
Is calcium nitrate an oxidizer?
Yes, calcium nitrate can act as an oxidizer. In certain conditions, it can release oxygen that can support combustion and promote oxidation reactions.
Is oxygen class 3 or class 4 oxIDIZER?
Oxygen is classified as a Class 3 oxidizer. Class 4 oxidizers are less reactive than Class 3 oxidizers like oxygen.
Is oxygen an oxide?
I'd say no cause an oxide is something that reacts with oxygen to form something else.
Would fire burn in a vacuum?
A substance would only burn in a vacuum if it contained an oxidizer. There has to be an oxidizer for there to be fire. That doesn't mean that it requires oxygen, just a substance that facilitates the removal of electrons.
Is ammonium nitrate an oxidizer?
Yes, ammonium nitrate is an oxidizer. It can release oxygen when heated, making it a potential source of oxygen for combustion reactions.
What is the chemical name for OF?
Oxygen Fluoride which does not exist, but oxygen difluoride does exist. However, it is very reactive. It is a very strong oxidizer.
What is the role of an oxidizer in a solid fuel system?
A solid rocket engine uses a fuel and an oxidizer. The oxidizer when burned delivers oxygen to the fuel so that it can burn. Most rockets use oxidizers because when the rocket burns it uses so much oxygen that they need a readily available supply.
Is combution a reaction?
Yes, combustion is a chemical reaction in which a fuel (such as gasoline) reacts with an oxidizer (such as oxygen) to release energy in the form of heat and light. This reaction typically produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
What does code OXY in the bottom white quadrant of a label conforming to NFPA 704 indicates what?
The material can easily release oxygen to create or worsen a fire or explosion hazard
Is calcium nitrate an oxidizer?
Yes, calcium nitrate can act as an oxidizer. In certain conditions, it can release oxygen that can support combustion and promote oxidation reactions.
What is the purpose of oxygen in explosives?
oxidizer
What is the oxidizer in a solid rocket engine?
In a solid rocket engine, the oxidizer is a chemical component that provides the necessary oxygen for combustion of the fuel. Common oxidizers used include ammonium perchlorate or ammonium nitrate, which are mixed with a fuel to create a propellant that burns to produce thrust. The oxidizer is integral to the solid propellant formulation, enabling the rocket to operate in the absence of atmospheric oxygen.
A material that yields oxygen causing or enhancing the combustion of other materials is classified as?
An oxidiser, or an oxidising agent. Spelled with a 'z' if you're American.
What is the chemical name OF2?
OF2 is oxygen difluoride, a very powerful oxidizer.
Where does the oxygen come from for the fireworks to burn?
Fireworks use solid oxidizers within the chemical makeup of the charge. The chemical oxidizer fulfills the need for both oxygen and fuel in the fire equation. All that is needed is heat. Or just the surronding air.
Does oxygen fuel a fire?
No, although it is essential for a fire. In technical terms a fire needs two chemical ingredients: fuel and oxidizer. The fuel is whatever is burning, whether it is wood, gasoline, or methane. Oxygen is the oxidizer.
