you cant pour a gas. the thing that relights the wood stick is O2, or oxygen gas.

if the gas is heavier than air you can pour it, if it is lighter than air you cant. http://chemistry.about.com/od/funfireprojects/a/candle-science-magic-trick.htm for reference

Yes, however O2 is not significantly heavier than air, and in this situation there was no gas being poured.

...and yes I know that you would have to light it first. I am just curios if it would make lighting a campfire easier. 

Liver smells!

you could pressurize a small glass container with it, and surround it with gunpowder in a small container, im sure you know the rest

i like your name :)

This is dangerous when you mix the resulting oxygen with something like hydrogen, gasoline, or anything that burns. There's a reason oxygen canisters have a warning about not operating near a flame, cigarette, etc.

and cool not boring science

everything cool has science in it. like, for instance, if you burn something with liquid oxygen, the oxygen rich environment makes it explode. which is cool.

which is still a chemical reaction. really, I actually know this stuff.

Catalysts don't react, they lower the activation energy required for a chemical reaction to take place.

umm, so how do you think that works exactly? the molecules go in there, wave their magic wands and proclaim that the activation energy is now lowered? no. thats not how it works. the catalyst molecules react with you original chemical , and through several low energy reactions, end up with the end product that you want, and that series of reactions takes less energy than it would to directly make your end product from your original chemical without any help. for example: (from wikipedia) Catalysts generally react with one or more reactants to form intermediates that subsequently give the final reaction product, in the process regenerating the catalyst. The following is a typical reaction scheme, where C represents the catalyst, X and Y are reactants, and Z is the product of the reaction of X and Y: X + C → XC (1) Y + XC → XYC (2) XYC → CZ (3) CZ → C + Z (4) Although the catalyst is consumed by reaction 1, it is subsequently produced by reaction 4, so for the overall reaction: X + Y → Z As a catalyst is regenerated in a reaction, often only small amounts are needed to increase the rate of the reaction. In practice, however, catalysts are sometimes consumed in secondary processes.

yes

uhh, not really. liquid oxygen won't just "burn"... remember, for fire you need THREE things, oxygen, heat and FUEL

TheMadScientist is right.

oxygen isnt flammable. it just helps what ever is burning oxidize.

Did you read my reply to PKM?

oops, sorry.

Not a problem at all =]

Oxygen is not flammable- oxygen is what flammable materials use in order to burn (burning = combining with oxygen). The glowing stick isn't hot enough to burst into flame in air (only ~20% oxygen) but when put into a higher concentration of oxygen it burns a lot hotter, relighting the flame.

While you're right that oxygen is not technically flammable, it is often considered such because fire is just an energetic reaction between a fuel and an oxidizer. And having an extra strong (non diluted) amount of oxidizer present makes it seem as if the oxygen is what was flammable. So although it is flammable in the sense that an everyday person might think of it, oxygen is not a fuel, and therefore not flammable.
