Applied Science | Liquid laughing gas supports combustion @AppliedScience | Uploaded 10 years ago | Updated 19 hours ago
I liquified a small amount of laughing gas (nitrous oxide) and put a burning piece of wood in it to see the result. The heat from the flame causes the nitrous oxide to decompose into nitrogen and oxygen, which supports combustion more vigorously than air.
