There is a limited amount of oxygen in the room, if the Bunsen burner hole is opened then there is more oxygen allowed to be squashed into the hole. This allows the gas to be soaked in oxgen because it reacts with the oxygen producing a flame.

∙ 13y agoYes the amount of oxygen does affect the heat of the flame.

∙ 12y agoA fire needs three things, air, fuel, heat. The more pure the air is, without contaminates, the better the burn. Pure fuel and a hotter heat source will also add to the flames heat.

∙ 8y agoNo. At high enough temperatures oxygen will react with flammable materials to cause combustion. Heat is not a substance, and therefore can react with nothing.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoOxygen is needed to support the combustion which produces the flame. The amount of oxygen supplied controls the visual appearance of the flame and the flame's temperature.

What does oxygen react with that causes an combustion?
hydrocarbon
What is the combustion equation for ethanol burned in oxygen?
Combustion of ethanol with oxygen: C2H5OH + 3 O2 --> 2 CO2 + 3 H2O + 'Heat'
What are the supporters of combustion?
Oxygen must be present in order for it to occur Fuel, oxygen and heat are key reactants in combustion. Tee hee hee !! ;)
Explain what is combustion?
Did you mean combustion? Combustion is the chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant which will produce heat. Ex: a camp-fire is a combustion, the gas being burned in the engine of your car is also.
What type of reaction is C3H8 plus O2 ----- CO2 plus H2O?
It is a combustion reaction, which is a reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.
How can oxygen produce combustion?
Oxygen is a required reactant in a combustion reaction - without oxygen, you do not have combustion. If you combine a hydrocarbon with oxygen and add heat, you will cause a combustion reaction that results in carbon dioxide and water being formed (provided there was complete combustion).
What does oxygen react with that causes an combustion?
hydrocarbon
What does combustion require?
Combustion requires Heat, Fuel and Oxygen
What are combustible substances?
The substances that can react with oxygen and give out heat and light i.e., undergo combustion are called combustible substances.
Is this reaction Endothermic The combustion of propane in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. And does methane or propane produce more energy combustion I just dont understand this?
All the combustion reactions I know of are exothermic because heat is released instead of absorbed. And propane gives more energy than methane cause it has more Cs and Hs to react with Oxygen, so one mole of propane will react more and form more product than one mole of methane and giving out more energy.

Where does incomplete combustion take place?
Depending on the situation I would say the most likely cause is oversaturation of the fuel or insufficient oxygen.
Is oxygen a burning gas?
Oxygen, when mixed with a combustible substance, or gas and enough heat, will cause combustion, and is a gas. So it is indeed, a gas that burns.
What must be present for combustion to occur?
heat, fuel, and oxygen
What 3 things are needed for combustion to occur?
the organic (or certain inorganic) compounds oxygen (generally excess) heat
Why does complete combustion release more energy than incomplete combustion?
in complete combustion the amount of oxygen is higher/more than the amount of oxygen in incomplete combustion. Heat needs oxygen.
What is needed for a combustion to occur?
oxygen. the definition of combustion is: a substance reacting with oxygen to create heat and light.
How can you heat flammable liquids?
Presuming you mean in a fashion that will not cause combustion, the only sure way to heat a flammable liquid without causing combustion is to heat it in a sealed environment that has little or no free oxygen. Oxygen is required for combustion to occur; without oxygen, there is no combustion. A less safe method would be to gradually heat the liquid, such as by storing it in a greenhouse. However, flammable liquids may combust even when heated slowly and should never be heated in an oxygenated environment past their recommended maximum safe temperatures.
