Yes, it does, as does everything that burns, as oxygen is one part of the "Fire Triangle", which is the three things anything needs to burn. The other two components of this triangle are: Fuel and Heat.

What is the product formed when Oxygen burns in air?
Oxygen can not burn in air.
If a candle burns does it react with the oxygen in the air?
Yes, when a candle burns, it reacts with the oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, heat, and light. This process is a chemical reaction known as combustion.
What is the name of the chemical which burns in air?
The chemical that burns in air is oxygen. Oxygen is a highly reactive gas that readily supports combustion, which is why it is essential for most combustion processes to occur.
What is the difference between burning steel wool in air and burning it in a pure oxygen?
burns faster in pure oxygen as the percentage of oxygen is less in air
What is a chemical property ability to condense from a gas to a liquid ability to react with oxygen in the air or ability to change directly from a gas to a liquid?
Ability to react with oxygen in the air is a chemical property.
Does magnesium react to oxeygen?
Yes. When magnesium burns in air, it combines with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide, MgO.
What black solid reacts with oxygen to make carbon dioxide?
Carbon in the form of charcoal or graphite reacts with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide when it burns.
How to make fuel out of charcoal?
Charcoal burns quite well as a fuel, it just needs an air supply
Why does magnesium burn more in oxygen that in air?
First off, it doesn't burn more, it burns quicker. This is because It's reacting with the oxygen, and in a 100% oxygen environment there's simply more oxygen to react with (the air is 21% oxygen).
If oxygen is exposed to a glowing ember will it explode?
It should not explode. With what would the oxygen combust? About 20% of the air is oxygen. Oxygen does not readily combine with itself. However, if you put a spark into a cup of liquid hydrogen, I bet it would react rather violently. And there is a YouTube video of a fellow igniting charcoal with liquid oxygen. The oxygen does not explode, but the fire burns the charcoal really well. And the barbecue. And eventually the ground below the grill.
What is the product formed when Oxygen burns in air?
Oxygen can not burn in air.
Does gallium react with oxygen?
of course not gallium does not react with oxygen you retards cuz if it did then something would happen if you would it in the air cuz oxygen is in the air
If a candle burns does it react with the oxygen in the air?
Yes, when a candle burns, it reacts with the oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, heat, and light. This process is a chemical reaction known as combustion.
Which gas in the air is used when icing sugar burns?
Oxygen.
Which gas in the air burn's out the filament?
Oxygen is the gas in the air that burns out the filament in an incandescent light bulb. When the filament reacts with oxygen at high temperatures, it oxidizes and eventually burns out.
Which gas in the air reacts with the wax as it burns?
oxygen
Does copernicium react with air?
Not known today, but is supposed that copernicium can react with oxygen.
