Why does fire burns us?

Answer 1

OK. Fire is misunderstood. Fire doesn't actually burn anything. Fire is a chemical reaction that requires a fuel, an oxidizer, and an ignition source to live. And yes it is exothermic but, the heat that is produced by this chemical reaction that we call fire, is a process known a pyrolysis.

Pyrolysis, a process in which heat, a by-product of fire, converts solid mass into a gas or vapor. Since our bodies are mostly made of water, the heat causes the water in our skin to literally boil and turn to steam. The rate at which the skin boils and how deep the damage goes determines the degree of injury. Add to this the amount of natural oils in your skin and this process is sped up.

Once the heat reaches the underlying tissue and the skin is no longer protecting us, the fatty tissue and muscle continue to lose moisture and die at an accelerated rate. So we don't actually burn, per se, the moisture in our bodies is evaporated and the affected area eventually dies due to the excessive heat, lace of moisture and blood supply.

Answer 2

Fire burns everything that burns at a temp. less than the temp of the fire.

Combustion or burning is a chemical process, an exothermic reaction between a substance (the fuel) and a gas (the oxidizer), usually O2, to release heat. In a complete combustion reaction, a compound reacts with an oxidizing element, and the products are compounds of each element in the fuel with the oxidizing element.

Answer 3

Why does fire burn us? Cells are mostly water. When the temperature of the water goes above 100 C. The water turns to gas (vapor), expands and pops the cell, some of the tissue evaps and you are left with Carbon (black) a much worse burn.

Get an "A".

Answer 4

The typical fire is composed of very hot, ionized carbon produced by an exothermic reaction of oxygen and hydrocarbons. When it cools, it ceases glowing and turns dark. This is smoke. Convection causes the fire and smoke to travel upward.

It burns us because it's hot.

Answer 5

Fire is the result of a rapid oxidation reaction, combining with oygen, and exothermic, giving off heat. Your skin is very sensitive to heat energy.

Answer 6

particular I do have faith that ALLAH(SWT) will burn the Kaafur and the undesirable Muslims back and back back with hearth and then recreate us to burn us yet back with fires from Jahannam for all eternity for our undesirable deeds and sins. however the undesirable Muslims gets out of Jahannam while their sins are paid for and bypass to Jinnah. The water could additionally be the grease from the undesirable human beings and could evaporate your suggestions once you drink it. i'm Muslim.
