Could you heat paper in a vacuum where there is no oxygen for it to combust and melt it?

You can't burn it but you can heat the paper directly. Paper is largely cellulose; I can't actually find a citation, but it's extremely likely that it decomposes before it melts.

Can you vacuum paper with a vacuum cleaner?
Small pieces of paper can usually be vacuumed up without difficulty, but if the paper is crumpled up, it could clog a machine.
Is it true that a marble and a piece of paper will fall at the same rate with the same acceleration in a vacuum?
Yes
What falls faster a crumpled ball of paper or a flat sheet of paper?
Assuming that both pieces of paper weigh the same, a crumpled piece falls faster in the presence of an atmosphere. In a vacuum, they would fall at the same speed due to the lack of wind resistence.
Why won't my paper shredder shred my paper?
It may be to small a piece of paper or your shredder could be slightly off the top of the box.
Which paper burns faster graph paper lined paper computer paper or construction paper?
The labels for your types of question are probably too vague or ambiguous to answer with 100% certainty. Typically, Graph and Lined paper will be made from the same stocks so should burn at the same rate. Computer paper has varying weights(15,18,20) and could manufactured from Groundwood, Virgin or Recycled content. The same can be said for construction paper as there are many different grades of that paper as well. Theoretically, going with the heaviest weights and best grades of all types listed above, the construction paper should burn the fastest. This will happen because construction paper is typically a softer surface which means it is more porous allowing oxygen to feed your fire.
What gas is needed for paper to burn?
Answer:Burning of wood is a process of combustion. By definition if something is undergoing combustion oxygen must be involved in the reaction.

So In My Geography Lesson Me And My Mates Were Arguing If Paper Is Made Of Wood And Wood Comes From Trees And Trees Produce Oxygen Will Paper Produce Oxygen Or Have Oxygen In It?
Trees produce oxygen as a byproduct of being alive. Once a tree is cut and effectively dead, it stops producing oxygen. Since everything that is made in the atmosphere rather than in a vacuum contains some trace of oxygen, paper could be said to contain it, but not in any measurable amount or way to get it out of the paper.
How fires begin?
HUMANS and LIGHTNING !!! Three components are required for a fire i) Flammable material - hydrocarbon, fuel paper etc ii) Air (oxygen) - no oxygen, no fire iii) Spark/firestarter - Combine flammable material and oxygen, chances are they're not going to combust - a spark, a bit of energy is required to get the fire started
How does paper combust?
when an atom of hydrogen (h) reacts with oxygen (o) a long chain of atoms is produced and since paper is made from wood, you must add that to the equation since 9(0.11)(o2+h7)* however this is high level chemistry AS LEVEL founded of the SGTP course of investigation so the short answer is no due to the fact that when hydrogen is reacted with oxygen and paper is combusted the equation is incomplete and the answer given is to 2 decimal places
What happens if you leave paper in water for to long?
Oxygen in the water will cause oxidation of iron minerals in the clip, creating rust.
Why does a coin and a piece of paper fall differently in vacuum then in air?
In a vacuum, there is no drag, i.e. air resistance, so the coin and the piece of paper will fall the same way in a vacuum, whereas in air, the paper will flutter down while the coin will have minimal impediment due to its drag coefficient being far less than that of paper.
If a paper is placed above a book and they're drop from a certain height why is it that while falling the paper still remains in contact with the book and it lands still in contact with the book?
If the paper gets away from the book, it creates a vacuum which will suck the paper back against the book. Only if there is a side flow can the "vacuum" be compensated as the paper slowly gets away. In free fall, the fall itself creates a vacuum behind the falling object (book + paper), so that no air is available to compensate the vacuum created by separating book and paper - thus the paper remains sticked. (2 cents assumption)
How does a paper stick on a smooth surface?
You use sellotape.
What gas is needed to burn paper?
Oxygen.
Can oil pass through a filter paper?
Yes it will, especially if you help it with a vacuum
How do you retrieve a piece of paper that has slid under the windscreen in a Seat Altea?
vacuum
