“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
Combustion (fire) requires two things: fuel (wood, gas, coal, etc…) and oxidizer (usually oxygen). The more concentrated one thing or the other, the easier (and faster) it is for a reaction to occur. That means things burn a lot more easily when there’s more concentrated oxygen, but the oxygen won’t burn all by itself.
