Do you use CO2 to extinguish Liquid Fire?
The CO2 or the dry Chemicals can be used to extinguish Liquid Fire, though other extinguishes can be used like halogen extinguishers, BUT the halogen is doesn't help as much as it harms, because it causes a toxic gas, and there is Foam extinguishers they come handy too.
Is water the best way to put out a chemical fire?
You need to read the MSDS to see what agent to use to extinguish a fire. Some chemical fires can be extinguished with water, like acetic acid. If you use enough of it, you can extinguish a gasoline or diesel fire with water--definitely don't try this at home, you need a fire hose.If you were attempting to fight a calcium carbide fire with water, you would probably die. When calcium carbide is mixed with water, it produces a very flammable gas called acetylene.
What type of foam do you use on polar solvents?
Class B
What is used to put out gasoline fire and why?
Most likely an extinguisher that uses sand or foam to choke the oxygen out of the flame because this type of fire is hard to put out with water or other means.
Can you use water on an alcohol fire?
It is absolutely FALSE that you should use "Water and nothing but water to put out an alcohol fire." Alcohol (ethanol) floats on water, so any burning alcohol (like a gasoline fire) will simply spread if you put water on it. You can certainly use a BC or ABC fire extinguisher on a small alcohol fire. Furthermore, ordinary Class B (flammable liquid) extinguishers with foam may not be adequate for an alcohol fire, where it might be adequate for gasoline. This is because ethanol "eats through" many ordinary types of foam and continues burning. Fire fighters have been becoming more aware and better trained and prepared for ethanol fires, with the specialized foam and tactics, as large containers of ethanol travel our roadways and railroads.
How will you extinguish fire?
by foam extinguisher
What propety of foam allows it to extinguish fire?
Most are water based, with a thickening power to make it heavier, the purpose of foam, in a firefighting use is to smother and deprive the fire of oxygen
How does one extinguish a paraffin fire.?
take away the air oxyagan
Where is a labs fire extinguisher located?
Laboratory fire extinguishers shoud be located just inside each exterior door. To be as safe as possible they should probably be of the type AR-AFFF, that is Alcohol Resistant Aqueous Film Forming Foam. While these foam extinguishers are messy they extinguish the fire AND THEN they provide reflash protection. Other extinguishing agents will extinguish the fire but if all the elements of a fire are still there, oxygen fuel and temperature, then the fire can reignite. AR-AFFF prevents that and prevents the foam from degrading due to solvents which tend to be present in Laboratories.
Do you use CO2 to extinguish Liquid Fire?

What are solute and solvent in foam?
The solvent is foam and the solute is Carbon Dioxide hope this helps!
What do you call the substance that takes in or dissolves or takes in the solute?
It is the solvent.
Why would you use foam to put out a fire?
Not normal foam but carbon dioxide foam from a fire extinguisher. This special foam covers the fire and takes all the oxygen out of it, and with no oxygen, no fire!!!
Where would you use a foam fire extinguisher?
"foam" fire extinguishers are made for hydrocarbon fires...i.e: gasoline, diesel, etc. These fires are considered class "b" (flammable liquids), and are mostly used by professionals and in commercial and industrial settings. These extinguishers are charged with anther AFFF, FFFP, or AR-AFFF, however, these class of extinguishers are only rated class A & B fires and are hazardous to the environment, humans and animals in addition to being very corrosive.
How firefighters use trigonometry?
Firefighters use trigonometry to determine the height of buildings and other structures. It is also used to measure distances and angles needed to reach the scene of a fire. Trigonometry is also used to calculate the flow of water or foam needed to extinguish a fire. Calculating the height of a building or structure Measuring distances and angles to reach the scene of a fire Calculating the amount of water or foam needed to extinguish a fireFirefighters use trigonometry to determine the best way to approach a fire and to ensure that the necessary resources are available. Without the use of trigonometry firefighters would not be able to accurately and efficiently respond to fires.
Why do you use foam to put out a fire?
The foam cuts the connection of fire with air (oxygen) & thus puts out fire.
Why do you use foam on a oil fire?
foam is used for fire suppression. what it does is it cools the fire and to coats the fuel, preventing its contact with oxygen, and then the fire is out.
