How does CO2 extinguish a fire?
CO2 extinguishes fire by displacing oxygen, which is necessary for combustion. When released, CO2 creates a layer of gas that smothers the fire, cutting off the oxygen supply and extinguishing the flames.
Why charcoal burns slowly when left undisturbed?
Because when you blow on the coals you are adding oxygen to the fire and oxygen fuels a fire. A fire would simply go out without any oxygen. Because when you blow on the coals you are adding oxygen to the fire and oxygen fuels a fire. A fire would simply go out without any oxygen.
Why cant you set a fire to the Moon's surface?
there is no oxygen on the moon, therefore, a fire could not start because in the fire triangle, (the materials needed to start a fire) the fire needs oxygen, which the moon does not have, fuel, and heat.
Why is it that fanning burning wood keeps the wood burning?
Fanning them brings in more oxygen. With more oxygen you get more fire.
Is pure oxygen explosive?
No. Oxygen itself is not flammable, but it is necessary for fire. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable substance. Fire is possible on Earth because ordinary air is 21% oxygen. Pure oxygen is considered a fire hazard because higher concentrations of oxygen will make it easier for a fire to ignite and will allow it to burn hotter and faster than normal.
Is fire really hot or because of human body it is hot?
Yes fire is hot by itself.not because of human bodys.
Why is oxygen so important?
Oxygen can be processed to produce energy. Your body does it, cars do it and so does fire. Oxygen contains a lot of energy and aids lots of chemical reactions, and it contributes most of the energy our bodies use. Body cells take oxygen and it convert body neutrant in to various useful material required for our body,Such as it convert fat into energy.It also makes tissues for our body. oxygen is necessary for breathing purpose. Through lungs,it clearify the blood and remove the toxic material from blood
Fire and oxygen?
Fire is a chemical reaction involving the rapid oxidation of a fuel source in the presence of oxygen. Oxygen is essential for sustaining and accelerating the combustion process by providing the necessary element for oxidation to occur. The heat released during this reaction is what we perceive as fire.
How do you put out a fired if the fire is with gasoline?
Fire cannot survive without oxygen and the human lungs take oxygen and expell carbon dioxide. This process is sped up in panic, so panic more and you will starve it of oxygen.
How does CO2 extinguish a fire?
CO2 extinguishes fire by displacing oxygen, which is necessary for combustion. When released, CO2 creates a layer of gas that smothers the fire, cutting off the oxygen supply and extinguishing the flames.
Why does sitting in front of a fire make your front very warm while your back is cold?
The human body is not a good conductor, which means heat does not travel through the human body easily. The thermal energy from the fire stays on your skin in the front of the body.
What effects does oxygen have on fire?
Oxygen keeps the fire going. In some cases, it can make the fire larger, depending on the amount of oxygen around the fire.
How does oxygen distribute fire?
Oxygen does not distribute fire. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance. Fire cannot burn without oxygen, and the more oxygen there is, the hotter and faster a fire will burn. More oxygen also makes it easier for materials to ignite.
What is an oxygen fed-fire?
An oxygen-fed fire is a fire that is fueled by an increased supply of oxygen, resulting in a more intense and faster-burning fire. It can be more difficult to control and extinguish due to the higher oxygen levels supporting combustion.
Why charcoal burns slowly when left undisturbed?
Because when you blow on the coals you are adding oxygen to the fire and oxygen fuels a fire. A fire would simply go out without any oxygen. Because when you blow on the coals you are adding oxygen to the fire and oxygen fuels a fire. A fire would simply go out without any oxygen.
What is a Source of oxygen for a fire?
the air
What happens when you remove fuel and oxygen from fire?
If you remove fuel, oxygen, or both from a fire, the fire goes out.
