But oxygen does support the burning of other substances. A glowing wooden splint placed in a test tube of oxygen will continue to burn until the oxygen is used up. This ability to support burning is another example of a chemical property.

Chemical "oxidation" is half the process of electron transfer (redox), in particular the transfer of electrons from the reactant to the oxidizer. The most common oxidizer in terrestrial chemistry is oxygen itself, because it is mo...

It is usually said that the fuel 'burns' and that the oxidant 'supports combustion'. Oxygen takes part in a lot of these reactions, but always as the oxidant, never the fuel. So a chemist would normally say that oxygen supports combustion, but that it does not burn.

Is oxygen flammable? From a database of frequently asked questions from the Chemical change section of General Chemistry Online. ... In combustion, oxygen oxidizes a fuel. But oxygen itself isn't a fuel. Demonstrate to your friends that oxygen itself doesn't burn by asking them to write a combustion equation for oxygen.

Hydrogen and oxygen, when combined in an appropriate mixture, will burn to form water. By itself neither pure hydrogen nor pure oxygen will burn (they need an oxidizer and a reductant respectively).

The candle in the large jar burns out next, because although it had more oxygen to burn than the candle in the small jar, it still runs out of oxygen. The candle in open air continues to burn the longest, because it does not have a limited amount of oxygen to burn.

Tell the students that you are going to throw a match into this concentrated oxygen. The students will retreat in hopes of avoiding the impending inferno. Most students believe that the oxygen will burn all by itself.
