What else can I help you with?
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.
Why does fire not burn in water?
Fire feeds on oxygen, and water does not have much of it.
What way would a fire north of the equator burn faster from?
A fire north of the equator would burn faster if there is dry and windy weather conditions that provide ample oxygen and fuel for the fire to spread quickly. Additionally, if the fire is fueled by flammable vegetation or materials, it can also contribute to a faster burn rate.
Does oxygen catch fire easily?
No. Oxygen is not flammable. Rather, it supports the combustion of flammable materials. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable material. Higher concentrations of oxygen will cause a fire to burn hotter and faster.
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.
Why does a burning candle get extinguished when covered with a tumbler?
Fire needs oxygen to burn and when the tumbler covers the fire it uses up all the oxygen in the little space quickly and is extinguished.
Why does flame require air to burn?
fire needs oxygen to burn, because fire is a chemical reaction that needs oxygen. the fire triangle is what fire needs to burn and is this- heat, fuel, and oxygen.
True or false fire will not burn without oxygen?
True, fire must have oxygen to burn.
Can oxygen catch on fire?
No, oxygen itself does not burn, but it supports combustion. This means that it helps other materials burn when it is present in sufficient amounts. Oxygen enables fires to ignite and sustain themselves by providing the necessary conditions for combustion. If there is sufficient fuel and an ignition source, oxygen can cause a fire to burn more fiercely.
Can a fire burn in a room with no oxygen?
No it can't. You need oxygen to burn for it to work.
What hapens when you add oxgen to fire?
Fire is a chemical reaction where the fuel substance combines with oxygen to produce heat and a new substance. Normal atmosphere has about 20% oxygen, so if you add oxygen to an already burning fire, the fuel is able to react more quickly, because of the extra available oxygen. The fire will get bigger and burn hotter.
How does oxygen distribute fire?
Oxygen does not distribute fire. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance. Fire cannot burn without oxygen, and the more oxygen there is, the hotter and faster a fire will burn. More oxygen also makes it easier for materials to ignite.
What would happen if you mixed fire with oxygen?
If you mix fire with additional oxygen, it would likely cause the fire to burn more intensely or spread more rapidly due to increased fuel supply. The additional oxygen would support combustion and increase the rate of the chemical reaction, making the fire burn hotter and faster.
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.
What happens when you remove oxygen from a wood fire?
That is, what they already do. No kind of fire can burn without oxygen!
What does a fire need to burn well?
oxygen
Can fire burn on mars?
nope, no oxygen.
