Introduction:
About one fifth of
air is oxygen. What would happen to the rate of burning if we
had more or less oxygen in the air?
A candle, gas stove, automobile
and many other systems that burn some kind of fuel, also consume
oxygen from the air.
If we had more oxygen in the
air, Would the candles burn faster or brighter? Would cars drive
faster? or Would food cook faster on a gas stove? |
