What was the supply of oxygen in the great fire of London?
There was as much oxygen as there is outside today which meant the fire could spread much easier than without oxygen
What is the biggest killer in a fire?
the lack of air... The smoke and lack of oxygen. Fire comsumes the oxygen, preventing you from breathing. Both suffocate you.
When do you call the fire brigade?
We need the fire brigade when something is on fire or if someone needs help
Fuels burning what is the word equation?
Any fuel when mixed with oxygen present in air will burn (react) with a uge fire (energy) forming carbon dioxide and water (main products) but also other, sometimes nasty and polluting (toxic), byproducts.
What happens when you feed a starved fire oxygen?
It will burst into flames.
Why is it that fanning burning wood keeps the wood burning?
Fanning them brings in more oxygen. With more oxygen you get more fire.
Why does fire stop if water is poured on it?
Fire needs oxygen to continue burning. Water cuts of the supply of oxygen and hence the fire stops.
Why does a fire go out when you pour cold water on it?
Fire needs Oxygen gas to burn. The water pushes the Oxygen gas away from the fire, preventing it from burning.
Why does water prevent paper from burning?
Fire needs oxygen to burn. If you take away the oxygen there is nothing feeding the fire so it cannot carry on burning. Water has too little oxygen in it to feed the fire, and so it snuffs the flame, putting it out.
Why does forest fire occur even though in a cold place?
All fire needs to continue burning is oxygen and fuel
How does water put out fire?
Fire needs oxygen from the air just like we do. When water gets poured on it, it suffocates and goes out.
How does burning take place using the fire triangle?
the heat needs oxygen to keep burning and to light the flame the fuels need to be burnt
What happens if you put fire in a tube of oxygen?
If it's a normal fire, where normal everyday materials are burning, then pure oxygen will not put it out, it will make the fire burn stronger. Burning is a chemical reaction, and oxygen is a necessary reactant for combustion.
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.
Does oxygen fuel a fire?
No, although it is essential for a fire. In technical terms a fire needs two chemical ingredients: fuel and oxidizer. The fuel is whatever is burning, whether it is wood, gasoline, or methane. Oxygen is the oxidizer.
Why does fire need oxygen?
The oxygen that a fire needs is used to support the chemical reaction which takes place when something burns. The oxygen is used along with heat to convert the fuel, which typically is composed of hydrocarbons, to mostly carbon dioxide and water. Without the oxygen the fire would die out, because the chemical reaction couldn't take place without it. A fire needs three things in order to remain burning: fuel, an adequate supply of oxygen, and a sufficient heat source. Oxygen does not itself burns but supports burning.If the burning substance does not get adequate amount of Oxygen the burning of a substance willl b reduced and fire wouldn't rise much.It will blowed off.
Why is oxygen used for burning of fire?
So the fire has air so it can keep burning
