Substance that yields oxygen readily to stimulate the combustion of organic matter
A chemical other than a blasting agent or explosive that initiates or promotes combustion by spontaneously evolving oxygen either at room temperature or under slight heating These chemicals can react with organic material or intensify fires
{i} oxidant, oxidizing agent, agent or substance causing oxidization, substance that oxidizes another substance (also oxidiser)
An agent employed in oxidation, or which facilitates or brings about combination with oxygen; as, nitric acid, chlorine, bromine, etc
A non-chlorine shocking compound that removes or destroys built-up contaminants and chlor- amines in pool water without raining chlorine levels as required when "superchlorinating "
A chemical other than a blasting agent or explosive that initiates or promotes combustion in other materials, thereby causing fire either of itself or through the release of oxygen or other gases
a substance that supplies oxygen to support combustion of normally non-flammable material
A chemical other than a blasting agent or explosive that initiates or promotes combustion in other materials, causing fire either by itself or through the release of oxygen or other gases
any material that will gain electrons during a chemical reaction Because of this behavior, oxidizers will support combustion
A chemical which supplies its own oxygen and which helps other combustible material bum more readily
is a substance such as chlorate, permanganate, inorganic peroxide, notro carbo nitrate, or a nitrate, that yields oxygen readily to stimulate the combustion of organic matter
Non-chlorine shock chemical that destroys organic wastes without raising chlorine levels
a chemical that initiates or promotes combustion in other materials, thereby causing fire either of itself or through the release of gases
A non-chlorine shocking compound that removes or destroys built-up contaminants and chloramines in pool water without raising chlorine levels as required when "superchlorinating "
A chemical that initiates or promotes combustion in other materials by releasing oxygen, causing a fire
a chemical other than a blasting agent or explosive as defined in 1910 109(a), that initiates or promotes combustion in other materials, thereby causing fire either of itself or through the release of oxygen or other gases
A chemical containing oxygen compounds that permits rocket fuel to burn both in the atmosphere and in the vacuum of space
A substance such as chlorate, permanganate, inorganic peroxide, nitro carbo nitrate, or a nitrate, that yields oxygen readily to stimulate the combustion of organic matter
Is a substance that gives up oxygen easily to stimulate combustion of organic material
oxi·dize oxidizes oxidizing oxidized in BRIT, also use oxidise When a substance is oxidized or when it oxidizes, it changes chemically because of the effect of oxygen on it. Aluminium is rapidly oxidized in air The original white lead pigments have oxidized and turned black. to combine with oxygen, or make something combine with oxygen, especially in a way that causes rust oxidization
To combine with oxygen, to dehydrogenate especially by the action of oxygen, to change (a compound) by increasing the proportion of the electronegative part or change (an element or ion) from a lower to a higher positive valence, remove one or more electrons from (an atom, ion, or molecule)
[v] To convert an element to its oxide by combining it with oxygen For example, one of the naturally occurring oxides of iron (Fe) is ferric oxide (Fe2 O3), also called rust or hematite
To subject to the action of oxygen or of an oxidizing agent, so as to bring to a higher grade, as an -ous compound to an -ic compound; as, to oxidize mercurous chloride to mercuric chloride
