Why does gas burn?

Answer 1

When it reach temperature high enough..

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Gasoline has a flash point of 74 degrees F below zero. This is the temperature at which it gives off enough vapor to ignite in the presence of a spark or flame.

The ignition temperature of gasoline is between 589 and 850 degrees F depending on the octane rating. This is the temperature at which gasoline will spontaneously ignite without a spark or flame.

Answer 2

because the chemical decomposes and splits making 2 or more substances because of the heat, producing gases.

e.g when you heat calcium carbomate it is made up of calcium, a carbon and 3 oxygen elements. These split to produce calcium oxide (a calcium and 1 oxygen element) and carbon dioxide(made of a carbon and 2 oxygen elements). Carbon dioxide is a gas

Answer 3

Gas burns because it undergoes a chemical reaction called combustion when exposed to heat and oxygen. During combustion, the gas molecules break apart, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it produces more energy than it consumes, resulting in a flame.

Answer 4

Fuels, especially fossil fuels, are burned to produce motive power. Burning the fuel is necessary for an internal combustion type engine.

Answer 5

it burns because is gasoline. gasoline is made to burn

Answer 6

Some gases - for example, the propane used in the kitchen - burn because of chemical reactions between the gas and oxygen in the air.

Answer 7

Gasoline is called Gasoline because we call it Gasoline. Or is it called Gasoline because it IS Gasoline - Existentialism
