Fire. Alcohol is extremely Flammable.
Combining alcohol and fire can lead to the alcohol igniting and causing a flame. This is due to the flammable nature of alcohol vapors. It is extremely dangerous and can result in burns, injuries, and property damage. It is important to exercise caution and avoid this practice.
It can. All alcohol can catch fire.
Alcohol (fire + water) + fire.
Combustion -- but the reaction is between alcohol and oxygen -- fire is the process or the reaction itself.
Air and fire
Any kind of spark can cause a fire in the presence of an accelerator like gas fumes. It can happen even with a 1.5 volt battery.
water and fire
No, it is not safe to microwave alcohol as it can create a fire hazard due to the flammable nature of alcohol vapors.
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.
No, microwaving alcohol is not safe as it can lead to the alcohol vaporizing and potentially causing a fire or explosion. It is best to avoid heating alcohol in a microwave.
To safely extinguish an alcohol flame, you can smother it by covering it with a non-flammable material like a metal lid or a fire blanket. Do not use water to put out an alcohol flame as it can spread the fire.
