What else can I help you with?
What gas in our atmosphere promotes combustion?
Oxygen
What is combustion and how does it relate to oxygen?
The process of combustion is oxidation at a rapid enough rate to produce a flame. Oxidation requires an oxidizing agent. That agent is usually oxygen when a substance combusts in the atmosphere.
Does The combustion of fossil fuels releases oxygen into the atmosphere?
No, the combustion of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, not oxygen. Oxygen is consumed during the combustion process to help the fuel burn, but it is not released as a byproduct.
Where in atmosphere does meteoroids burn?
"where the oxygen level increases then combustion takes place"
This element does not burn but combustion cannot occur without it?
Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere. It is a key component for sustaining combustion as it dilutes oxygen and raises the combustion temperature, helping to control the rate of burning.
What are three ways oxygen gas is removed from the atmosphere and use?
Animals respire. Plants respire. Fire uses oxygen. Rusting uses oxygen. Oxygen is removed from the atmosphere by 1. respiration 2. combustion and 3. gradual oxidation process at normal temperature and pressure. It is added to the atmosphere by photosynthesis of green plants.
What percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere is needed for burning?
Around 16% of oxygen in the atmosphere is needed for burning to occur. This is the minimum concentration required for most combustion reactions to sustain.
Does sodium nitrate burn in an oxygen free atmosphere?
No, sodium nitrate does not burn in an oxygen-free atmosphere because combustion requires oxygen to support the chemical reaction that produces heat and light. Without oxygen, there is no source for the combustion reaction to occur.
Does air support combustion?
Yes, combustion requires oxygen which is found in air.
Can you ignite Neptune?
No, you can't ignite Neptune. While much of Neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen, there is no oxygen there to support combustion.
Why does a candle not burn on the surface of the moon?
for combustion to take place there has to be heat, oxygen and a fuel. On the moon there is a fuel (wick of the candle) and heat(your fire source) but no oxygen as there is no atmosphere which makes combustion (burning) impossible.
Which gas is added to the atmosphere in the process of combustion?
During the process of combustion, carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary gas added to the atmosphere. This occurs when carbon-containing fuels, such as fossil fuels and biomass, are burned in the presence of oxygen, resulting in the release of energy and the formation of CO2 as a byproduct. Additionally, combustion can also produce other gases, such as water vapor (H2O) and various pollutants, depending on the fuel and combustion conditions.
