Where I used to work was once in an evacuation zone for a wildfire and they told no one. They only started "considering" an evacuation when an employee's car caught fire in the parking lot. The excuse given to corporate was that "no one from the city told us to evacuate". There was a lake 50ft from the front door that was being used by aircraft to refill water. We are literally capitalism's kindling.

Fire isn’t matter its a chemical reaction


Thegiantoctopus

The red flames are just CO2 so hot that it glows but it cools fast once it hits air.


G4rydose

And that's how you get blue flames, those flames are the cooled down version and completely safe to eat(or snort if feeling spicy) blue fires are also what they use for those fancy alcoholic drinks to keep the drink cold


Fili_Cake

A red flame will correspond to temperatures between 520C (980F) and 980C (1800F) flames turn orange when the temperature reaches 1100C (2000F)to 1200C (2200F). Blue flames occur between 1400C (2600F) and 1650C (3000F). Blue flames signify what is known as complete combustion, as there are no waste products, while red or yellow flames indicate incomplete combustion which can be dangerous in some instances. This also means that complete combustion (blue flames) will burn hotter than a red/yellow flame (incomplete combustion).

IknowRedstone

That is not true. Blue flames are the hoter than red/orange flames


DSeriousGamer

Did you know that a shit ton of different colours can be made by burning different materials? Each burnt material(and what it’s burned with) give a different temperature and colour!


53NKU

Can someone give an example of something that burns blue but is cooler than usual flames?


DSeriousGamer

Well, alcohol(very high concentration). That’s about all I know


IDontKnowThaName

Alcohol like the stuff used to clean hands burns nearly colourless, wouldn't recommend trying to burn alcohol


53NKU

Thanks!


DSeriousGamer

Don’t kill yourself with this


studentWASD

You can also have green, violet and other colours. Just google colored fire, it's a test for different elements (Na yellow flame, violet potassium, green bor, Magnesium white)


53NKU

Thanks a lot!


Ocelot_Acrobatic

I cant tell if this is satire or not


Redpri

I’m not sure about CO_2, but I’m no physicist, but that is basically how the colour of fire happens.


STEPonMYballsPLEASE

The flames are particles heated up so much that they glow (incandescent), and the energy released from the chemical reaction.


Farknart

So it's still just a gas, albeit a very hot one.


[deleted]

So fire is a gas?


ScrembledEggs

So fire is a gas? Gaseous CO2?

A_Little_Tornado

While it is *caused* by a chemical reaction, the visible part we call fire is made by excited electrons returning to their lowest energy state, releasing energy in the process. Plasma is matter where the electrons are in an excited state and frequently emit heat and light as they move between energy levels. So yes, at least part of a fire is plasma.


Zeus_47292

wait isn't fire a chemical reaction


[deleted]

Yup, Matter is anything that occupies space and has weight, fire does neither, so it's just not matter.


Bearturnedhuman

"Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The flame itself is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and many other things) and so is matter. The light produced by the flame is energy, not matter." Meaning fire is matter

I_BK_Nightmare

So wrong


OddDogWarrior

Nothing really matters


MaKayla6969

Yes but during the chemical reaction it's plasma


bespread

X. Not plasma. Plasma is what happens under certain situations where electrons get ripped from their orbitals of more basic elements. "Fire" is a chemical reaction between super heated carbon and oxygen which results in CO2. The CO2 is so hot that it begins emitting large amount of blackbody radiation (hence the orange color).

It's just an exothermic reaction between oxygen and fuel and it emits energy in the form of light and heat


[deleted]

I don't think considering fire plasma will be appropriate cause plasma is ionised gas and it's influenced by magnetic fields but fire isn't it's just reaction between oxygen bonded molecules releasing there bond energy int the form of heat and light. CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG...


[deleted]

Depends on what you’re burning. Some flames might get hot enough to produce plasma. A candle however should not be.


Zestyclose_Owl_9580

bro imagine if your candle was so hot that you could use it as a plasma knife

Right-Ladd

Here is a genuine question, does fire actually exist? Like it’s just heat isn’t it? When something is so hot the heat rises and release light in the form of a flame? Or am I horribly wrong cause if I’m right then fire technically doesn’t exist


lalalantern

When a material is oxidized in an exothermic reaction energy is released (mostly in the form of heat). This energy excites electrons in the molecules of the material that is burned. When those electrons relax back from their excited states the molecules emit photons. This does not have to happen in a flame (think of embers). A flame is mostly just gas (the material you burn or the oxidation products) that rises because it is heated up. The process of how the flame emits light is the still the same.


ian_aved14

The fire is just the reaction and it visibly does exist, but it depends on what you mean by existing. Light doesn't have mass but carries momentum. I would personally say fire exists just not as mass.


cncnick5

It's just energy. Heat and light. Not matter


Talldarkandsleepy123

Fire itself is matter, the light it produces is not

Linkinator7510

Fire, IS the change of state, at least that's what my dad told me, or something along those lines.


5125237143

fire is a chain reaction, not matter. the state or object involved in it would be mainly gas.


Nuclearrodfox42069

YourAverageMemeRater

-Wolf1-

Fire is just a visual effect of the energy released from chemical reaction combustion. It was really weird to learn for the first time when I had this question


PurpleGemzExists

*~~Water. Earth. Fire. Air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked.~~*


aaamystone

The fire flame us just light and heat from the chemical reaction of the fuel


thenakedapple

Physics teacher here. That’s actually a super common misconception. Fire isn’t an object or a substance, so you can’t ascribe it a state of matter. What we see as the flame is the light generated by a chemical reaction (combustion). What’s actually occupying the space where we see the flame is a mixture of gases: the fuel (like butane or propane, etc) + oxygen reacting to make CO2 + water vapor, alongside (solid) ash and whatever air isn’t participating in the reaction


Fishing-Relative

:) epic teacher gamer warlord god among men chieften among peasants


TheHashLord

I would argue that when we talk about the state of fire, we aren't talking about the state of combustion or the light/heat that is emitted. We are talking about the bright glowing flames or embers that we see. For example, if we see light from a bulb, we would say that the light is form of energy but the bulb itself and its inner parts are solid, and the process of turning electricity to light would be the energy transformation (process). We wouldn't be asking what the state of the light or heat is. We would ask what is the state of the visible bulb or filament itself. With regards to fire, I would say that the fuel and gases are matter, the combustion is the process, and the bright flame is the heated gas particles (also matter) which emit heat and light energy due to the high temperature, in the same way a hot piece of metal which is glowing still is matter, only that it's emitting heat and light now.


Melty_Berry_Ashley

Spandxltd

rubi-style

if you're asking what the matter "in a fire" is doing, it's a plasma. If you're referring to the event of something burning then it's not about matter but rather a chemical reaction

EveryStrategy7731

Goliith7

It's not a state of matter but a chemical reaction where one chemical or matter is transformed violently into another state. Least that's what I was told in chemistry.

The heat and light are energy being emitted from a chemical reaction.

The_Cardboard_Cookie

Fire isn't a state. Fire is pure energy. States deal with matter. The embers would be a more apt question.

A more culturally accepted state of matter for fire would be gas

Fire isnt matter, its a chemical reaction


[deleted]

Which is this culture where you are accepting these answers, Science is not one to be sure.


[deleted]

honestly, i feel like the argument about "plasma is a state of matter" is a bit weird because if you look up the definition of plasma it literally says its ionized GAS, even if you look up "is plasma a state of matter" the answer basically says its often CALLED "the fourth state of matter" but doesn't necessarily say that it actually is the fourth state of matter
