To prevent chemicals in a fire extinguisher from clumping, it's essential to store the extinguisher in a temperature-controlled environment, avoiding extreme heat or cold. Regular shaking or periodic inspection can help ensure the agent remains loose and free-flowing. Additionally, using extinguishers that contain dry chemical agents with anti-caking additives can further minimize clumping. Regular maintenance and servicing by professionals are also crucial to ensure optimal performance.
Turn the extiguisher upside down, and give it a shake.
To prevent sugar from clumping, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Adding a few grains of rice to the sugar can also help absorb moisture and prevent clumping.

Flammable metals often require special chemicals to extinguish, assuming there are any. So, in fact, you WOULD use a "chemical extinguisher", but probably not an ordinary dry chemical extinguisher.
The clumping of blood is known as a blood clot. :)
Depends entirely on what the chemical is.
Assuming this extinguisher is following Australian rules, that is a dry chemical extinguisher. If this is an American extinguisher, there are no standards, only conventions, and I couldn't tell you by color alone.
You would not want to use a pressure water extinguisher on any electrical fire due to the possibility of electricity being conducted through the water and injuring someone. A CO2, dry chemical or "clean agent" (e.g., "Halogenated") extinguisher would be a better choice for an electrical fire, knowing that dry chemical powder will make quite a mess.
To prevent spices from clumping together, store them in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture. Use airtight containers and avoid shaking the container directly over steam or a hot pot. Additionally, adding a few grains of rice or a silica gel packet to the spice container can help absorb excess moisture and prevent clumping.
To prevent freshly grated parmesan cheese from clumping and becoming hard in the freezer, you can add a small amount of cornstarch or flour to the cheese before freezing. This will help absorb moisture and prevent clumping. Additionally, make sure to store the cheese in an airtight container or freezer bag to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
