Interpretation:
It needs to be explained why smoking is not permitted near an oxygen source and what would happen if a match were struck in a room filled with oxygen.
Concept Introduction:
Oxygen gas acts as fuel for the fire and it increases the burning process.
Answer to Problem 65A
Smoking is not permitted near an oxygen source as the only substance the spark needs to burn is oxygen and when a match is struck in a room filled with oxygen, the room will catch fire as oxygen fuels fire.
Explanation of Solution
Sparks coming out from the smoke are enough for the oxygen to catch fire so smoking is not permitted near an oxygen source. The only substance the spark needs to burn is oxygen and when a match is struck in a room filled with oxygen, the room will catch fire as oxygen fuels fire.
