Will sparks when cutting a sewer main ignite the gases inside?

YES it can if explosive gases are present. Use a atmospheric testing device to check for LEL (lethal explosive limits) before cutting!!!! If gases are present I suggest you use a vent blower to remove the explosive gases before cutting or even better hire a professional with a license and insurance.

Do inert gases ignite spontaneously?
No. Inert gasses cannot ignite at all. They very rarely undergo reactions of any sort.
Gases have ..?
Gases have no definite volume or shape. The air that you breathe, the helium in a balloon, and the neon inside the tube in a neon light are gases.
In Miller and Ureys experiments with the origin of life forms electric sparks were passed through a mixture of gases to?
through simulate lightning
In miller and urey's experiments with the origin of life-forms electric sparks were passed through a mixture of gases to?
through simulate lightning
What gases can be crammed into small spaces with ease?
All of them, with caveat that some gases will auto ignite if compressed too much. (The biggest malefactor here is acetylene; if it's compressed to over 15 psi, it becomes highly unstable.)
What are the uses and dangers of electrostatics?
Dangers: Makes sparks which can cause explosions if there are inflammable gases or vapours around. If you touch something with a large electric charge it will give you an electric shock which can burn you or stop your heart. Sparks can ignite flammable liquids, vapours and powders.

Why did miller and urey put those particular gases into their experiment?
Becuase those particular gases created electrical sparks
What can dragons do to spit fires?
Dragons use special organs to send flammable gases up their throat, and to ignite them.
What gases are inside light bulbs?
Noble(nonreactive) gases like argon
What is meant by flammable substances?
Flammable substances are those gases, liquids and solids that will ignite and continue to burn in air if exposed to a source of ignition.

Why can oxygen and nitrogen react together in a car engine?
Because the gases together under high temperature and pressure, and are subject to sparks.
