What else can I help you with?
Is nitrogen in fire extinguishers?
Nitrogen can be used in fire extinguishers as gas propellant.
Is nitrogen fire extinguisher?
Nitrogen can be used in fire extinguishers as gas propellant.
Does fire extinguisher contain hydrogen?
Not elemental hydrogen, no. That would not work in a fire extinguisher as hydrogen is highly flammable. Some fire extinguishers do use water, however, which is a hydrogen compound.
What are five elements in a living thing?
The five elements are Akasha ie space, fire, water, air and earth (prithvi)
Living things are made mostly of these four main elements?
Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N) and Carbon (C) The last one is Carbon, not Protein. Protein isn't an element, it is an organic compound. For example Glucose and Fructose are C6H12O6
How does a fire extinguishers stops a fire?
oxygen is a fuel necessary for flames to exist. when CO2 replaces the oxygen then the flame is unable to be present.
Which gases are responsible for the fire of combusted farts?
There are several gases responsible for the fire of combusted farts and usually it is a mixture of one of these gases: carbon dioxide, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, methane, nitrogen and oxygen.
If nitrogen is in the air will a fire not burn?
Nitrogen itself is not a flammable gas, so it will not support combustion. However, oxygen is necessary for a fire to burn, and air is composed mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. Removing oxygen, by displacing it with nitrogen, can help extinguish a fire.
Do fire extinguishers use oxygen?
No. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable material. Adding extra oxygen speeds up the reaction, making the fire burn even hotter and making it easier for the fire to spread.
Why are carbon dioxide fire extinguishers different from water ones?
Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are generally used because they absorb the oxygen content present in the air and thus help in extinguishing fire.
Can nitrogen catch on fire?
Nitrogen gas itself does not catch fire under normal conditions as it is an inert gas. However, nitrogen can support combustion by providing an oxygen-free environment that prevents the fire from being extinguished.
How does a fire extinguisher stop a combustion reaction?
A fire extinguisher stops a combustion reaction by removing one or more of the essential components of fire: heat, fuel, or oxygen. Different types of extinguishers work through various mechanisms; for example, water extinguishers cool the fire by absorbing heat, while foam extinguishers smother the flames, cutting off the oxygen supply. Dry chemical extinguishers interrupt the chemical reaction itself, effectively disrupting the combustion process. By targeting these elements, fire extinguishers effectively halt the fire's ability to sustain itself.
