it is a non-flammable gas that is effective at starving a fire of oxygen. Like other fire extinguishers (foam and water) it is only recommended for fighting certain types of fire. more infromation and recommendations on their use should be available through the fire department.
It's Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
The same air that we breathe !!
Carbon Dioxide is the most common gas in fire extinguishers.
which gas helps to make the foam that firefighters use
fire retardants used in the foam are trimethyltrimethylene glycol and hexylene glycol.
foam
When beer is opened, carbon dioxide gas is released from the liquid, causing foam to form. When beer is shaken, the carbon dioxide gas is dispersed throughout the liquid, preventing foam from forming immediately upon opening.
When yeast is mixed with warm water and sugar, it activates and begins to ferment. Fermentation produces carbon dioxide gas as a byproduct, which gets trapped in the liquid, creating foam. The foam is a result of the carbon dioxide bubbles rising to the surface of the mixture.
Yeast foams up when it feeds on sugar and produces carbon dioxide gas as a byproduct through fermentation. As the gas is trapped in the liquid, it creates bubbles and causes the mixture to foam. This process is essential in baking as the carbon dioxide helps dough rise.
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!!!
It is generally CO2, also known as Carbon Dioxide.
The carbonate turns into carbon dioxide, you're looking at the carbon dioxide when you try this at home, it's the bubbles that form on the egg.
