“Too much oxygen things go boom” It means Oxygen can be used as fuel like a gas stove, or lighters, or that some mundane things like clothes/footwear can ignite from friction in a concentrated oxygen room?
In: Chemistry
Ok…I’m going to go more basic…
In order for you to have FIRE you need 3 things…
1). A spark, something to start the fire
2). You need a fuel (Wood, paper, anything else flammable)
3). Oxygen
If you remove ANY of those 3 things there can’t be fire
As an example, if you had a 100% oxygen filled room and had a way of generating a spark in that room, nor there wasn’t anything flammable in the room, there wouldn’t be a fire.
Or
You have a stack of paper in a room that you then pump full of oxygen, you still won’t have a fire
Or
You could have a spark in a room filled to the brim with sawdust, but sealed in a hard vacuum and you still won’t have a fire
