Oxygen combines with a fuel creating an exothermic reaction. When you stick a match by propane the heat acts as a catalyst speeding up the reaction resulting in an exothermic reaction. When you heat a solid it turns to liquid heat it more and it turns to gas heat it more and it gains enough energy to combine with oxygen. If what you are saying is true then O2 will combine with more O2 creating enough energy to substane itself. Not gonna happen. Although with a highvoltage of DC current passing through the air O3 or ozone is created. All gases dont burn many gases such as helium, carbon dioxide,oxygen do not react exothermically with oxygen or chlorine.


I have an experiment for you all: take manganese dioxide from a battery add that to hydrogen peroxide it will fizzle. do the reaction in a glass flask,bottle, w.e. The resulting gas is pure oxygen. take a burning stick and put it in the vessle with the oxygen. Does the oxygen explode? No the stick burns with a very bright flame that is very hot.

bottom line i was right oxygen isnt flammable its an oxidizing agent.

yeah it says flammable cause it carries other bottles. usually oxygen bottles are a light green color they are highly pressurized up to and exceeding 3000 psi
