What does combustion require?
Combustion requires Heat, Fuel and Oxygen
How do you extinguish an oxidising flame?
Remove the flame's heat/oxygen/fuel supply. Oxygen could be removed by pouring water on it (do not do this for burning liquids like oil). A good way is to use a fire EXTINGUISHER.
Why is oxygen used up when a fire burns?
a) oxygen does not burn b) oxygen combines with the fuel - it is NOT a catalyst. c) a fire does acellerate when oxygen is added.
What is needed for fire to burn?
In order for fire to burn, there is someting called the fire tetrahedron. The things needed for fire to burn are as listed: Heat, Oxygen, Fuel(of any sort), and a Chmeical Reaction with all of the above. I learned this from the multiple firefighting classes i have taken.
What do you need to start a fire?
You need oxygen, heat, and fuel.
Which side of the fire triangle is removed by a firebreak?
A fire triangle consist of Fuel (Bushes), Heat (Fire) and Oxygen and the three combine creates a chemical chain reaction.In this case the fuel is removed so if there is nothing to burn you have no fire.
Why does forest fire occur even though in a cold place?
All fire needs to continue burning is oxygen and fuel
What are the three points of a fire triangle?
The three elements of the fire triangle that must be present are Heat, Oxygen, and Fuel. This has recently been changed though from the fire triangle to the fire tetrahedron. This includes Heat, Oxygen, and Fuel as well. But, it also contains a fourth, chemical reaction.
Which components of a fire must be removed to extinguish a fire?
Cool the burning material, Exclude oxygen, Remove the fuel, Break the chemical reaction
Which component of a fire must be removed to extinguish the fire?
Cool the burning material, Exclude oxygen, Remove the fuel, Break the chemical reaction
What happens when you remove fuel and oxygen from fire?
If you remove fuel, oxygen, or both from a fire, the fire goes out.
How would you write a paper on a forest fire using the fire triangle?
The "fire triangle" (or fire tetrahedron) refers to the components of any fire, namely: fuel, heat and oxygen. Forests provide fuel, normal air has plenty of oxygen, and heat can come from lightning or from human carelessness, resulting in forest fires. Under the theory of fire components, if you remove one or more components, the fire will stop. In forest fires you can remove the fuel by "separating" it with a fireline, you can remove the heat by using water or fire retardant. When the wind blows, it adds fresh air (more oxygen) and stimulates the fire's intensity and adds to the convective spread of the fire embers.
The key elements for a fire?
Fuel, Oxygen and Heat Fuel, Oxygen and Heat Fuel, Oxygen and Heat
What does water take out of a forest fire?
It lowers temperature below the kindling point of the fuel. Steam can also reduce oxygen available to the fire, but cooling is the main extinguishing feature.
What are the 4 components of a fire?
the four components of fire are heat, fuel, oxygen and the sustaining chemical reaction
What is an example of how fire grows and what happens?
Heat causes the material to vaporize, then that vapor feeds the flames and the process continues until Heat, Fuel or oxygen is removed. This is the chain reaction.
Does fire need air or oxygen?
The fire is fueled by oxygen in the air. There is no significant amount of hydrogen gas found in the atmosphere.Does the question relate to a laboratory experiment involving hydrogen gas? Or is the question a general one? Oxygen is not a fuel, but it is required to support combustion, or rapid oxidation. Hydrogen is combustible and can be used as fuel. If you burn hydrogen, the fire is being fueled by the hydrogen, not the oxygen, but without O2, the hydrogen would not burn.
