Insufficient oxygen. The percentage of oxygen does not change, but the decrease in pressure with altitude means less oxygen in each cubic unit of air.

Or maybe the explosion after we were hit with the missile did it.

Would a candle at high altitudes burn dimmerbrighteror essentially the same candle at low altitudes?

A candle at high altitudes would burn dimmer compared to the same candle at low altitudes. This is because the oxygen concentration is lower at higher altitudes, which affects the combustion process and results in a less efficient flame. Additionally, the reduced air pressure can lead to a weaker draft, further diminishing the candle's brightness.


Can you burn propane in doors?

No


Can Propane burn?

Yes, propane can burn. When propane is mixed with air and ignited, it produces a clean and efficient flame that can be used for heating, cooking, and other applications.


Why could a propane burner go out in high altitude?

As a guess, there would be a lower oxygen concentration or partial pressure at higher altitudes. Since oxygen is required for combustion.


How much oxygen takes to burn propane?

C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O That is the complete combustion for Propane.


How many grams of oxygen are required to burn 100 gram of propane?

For every 1 mole of propane burned, 5 moles of oxygen are required. This means that 44 grams of propane requires 160 grams of oxygen to burn completely. Therefore, 100 grams of propane would require (100 grams propane * 160 grams oxygen / 44 grams propane) = 363.64 grams of oxygen to burn completely.


Cirrus clouds appear at low to high altitudes?

Can you sun burn faster in the mountains in the summer than lower altitudes?

Yes the sun is more direct at higher altitudes.


How hot does a torch burn at?

With the correct mixture of Acetylene and Oxygen the flame can reach 5,000F or more. Other fuels (Propane etc.) do not create temperatures this high.


At what temperature does propane burn?

Propane burns at a temperature of around 1,980°C (3,596°F) in the presence of oxygen.
