Does argon puts out fire?

Argon can be used to suppress fires by displacing oxygen in the surrounding environment, which suffocates the fire. By reducing the oxygen levels, argon creates an environment where the fire cannot sustain itself. This method is commonly used in fire suppression systems in areas where water or other extinguishing agents may not be suitable.


Think of an analogy for the way in which antacids are bases?

Antacids neutralize stomach acid in the same way that a fire extinguisher puts out a fire. Just as the extinguisher counteracts the flames, antacids counterbalance the acidity in the stomach to provide relief from heartburn and indigestion.


Why does evaporation cool a fire down?

Evaporation cools down a fire because as the water evaporates, it absorbs heat from the surrounding environment, including the fire itself. This heat absorption reduces the temperature of the fuel source and can help extinguish the fire by limiting the availability of heat necessary to sustain it.


What element in the water put out the fire?

Fire is not extinguished by one element, but by the compound that is water. Individually, the two elements (hydrogen and oxygen) wwould make a fire worse- but the compound of them will exclude oxygen from the fire, and rapidly cool fires below the "kindling" temperature- so it goes out.


Why Water is poured to extinguish burning wood?

Water is poured on burning wood to extinguish the fire because water absorbs heat, cools the wood below its ignition point, and also deprives the fire of oxygen by creating steam that smothers the flames. This combination helps to effectively put out the fire.
