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.
What else can I help you with?
What gas makes the foam firefighters use?
It's Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
What gas is used to make the foam for firefighters?
The same air that we breathe !!
Which gas is in the foam used by firefighters?
Carbon Dioxide is the most common gas in fire extinguishers.
What gas is used to make foam for firefighting?
which gas helps to make the foam that firefighters use
What is the gas that helps to make the foam that firefighters use?
fire retardants used in the foam are trimethyltrimethylene glycol and hexylene glycol.
What kind of rock produces Carbon dioxide when it reacts with acid?
foam
Why does beer foam when opened, but not when shaken?
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.
Why yeast form foam when adding sugar and warm water?
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.
What causes a yeast mixture to foam up?
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.
Why would you use foam to put out a fire?
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!!!
What gas is in fighter fighting foam?
It is generally CO2, also known as Carbon Dioxide.
What is the foam floating on top of the vinegar after the eggshell experiment?
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.
