Name the process of heating and o2 higher temperature in the presence of air
Answers
Explanation:
When you eat, oxygen is oxidizing the food (fuel) you ingested, to generate energy you need to live. So there is "combustion" going on inside you! The main benefit of oxygen is that its the most commonly available oxidizer. The main component of air that support combustion is oxygen.
Highest temperature
Cyanogen, with the formula (CN)2, produces the second-hottest-known natural flame with a temperature of over 4,525 °C (8,177 °F) when it burns in oxygen.
Air contains about 21 percent oxygen, and most fires require at least 16 percent oxygen content to burn. Oxygen supports the chemical processes that occur during fire. When fuel burns, it reacts with oxygen from the surrounding air, releasing heat and generating combustion products (gases, smoke, embers, etc.).
