Oxygen relights a glowing splint. What does this tell you about the chemical properties of oxygen, compared to nitrogen?



Answer :


That oxygen is more flammable in comparison to nitrogen, a flame needs oxygen

Answer:

Explanation:

A glowing splint exposed to pure oxygen will burst into flames

because the process of combustion will be greatly accelerated. The

glowing splint exists in a normal atmosphere comprised of

approximately 20% oxygen. Think of the effect of fanning over

glowing embers in order to restart a fire. You are 'pushing' more

oxygen over the embers. Exposing a glowing splint to 100% oxygen

has an even greater effect.
