A burning splint will burn more vigorously in pure oxygen than in air because A) oxygen is a reactant in combustion and concentration of oxygen is higher in pure oxygen than is in air. B) oxygen is a catalyst for combustion. C) oxygen is a product of combustion. D) nitrogen is a product of combustion and the system reaches equilibrium at a lower temperature.
