How does the combination of baking soda and lemon juice make flames go out?
Lemon juice contains citric acid which is acidic. Baking Soda contains mainly sodium bicarbonate. An acid plus a carbonate or bicarbonate produces Carbon Dioxide which will put a flame out and is the basis for one type of fire extinguisher.
How do you make fire extinguisher powder?
There are two kinds of fire extinguisher powders. The first is monoammonium phosphate, which you find in A-B-C dry chemical extinguishers. To make it, add phosphoric acid to ammonia water until the mixture turns acidic, and the monoammonium phosphate will crystallize out of solution. In B-C fire extinguishers you will find sodium bicarbonate. This is baking soda, and you can get that at any grocery store.
Can using the wrong type of fire extinguisher be life threatening?
Yes. Depending on the type of fire and the type of extinguisher, you may simply spread the fire (which is bad enough) or you might actually cause more damage (trying to put out a sodium fire with a water based extinguisher, for example).
