Putting out a gas fire with water can actually spread the fire, as water can cause the gas to disperse and ignite in a larger area. This can lead to a more dangerous situation and increase the risk of injury or property damage. It is best to use appropriate extinguishing agents for gas fires, such as a dry chemical fire extinguisher.
What else can I help you with?
How many minutes can a fire survive underwater?
An ordinary fire would not survive under water, for a common fire requires fuel, oxygen, and heat. under water there would be no oxygen available, and the heat would be conducted away too quickly. HOWEVER oxy-acetylene gas cutting can be done under water, for we carry our oxygen with us. And bulk magnesium will burn under water (incendary bombs).
When calcium metal is placed in water is added to water the gas evolved does not catch fire but the same gas on adding sodium metal cathches fire why'?
In both reactions hydrogen gas is released but heat evolved in the sodium reaction is bigger.
What would happen if a glowing splint is held at the mouth of a beaker containing a piece of potassium and water And what is the gas evolved?
If a glowing splint is held at the mouth of a beaker containing potassium and water, the potassium will react violently with the water, producing potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas is highly flammable, and as it is released, it can ignite from the heat of the reaction, resulting in a small explosion or fire. The gas evolved during this reaction is hydrogen.
Turning off the Bunsen burner at the gas tap puts out the fire because?
Turning off the Bunsen burner at the gas tap puts out the fire because the gas is a switch that lets the amount of gas that you want to burn. And if you turn it off then it would let no gas through and there for would not let the Bunsen burner light up. Hope this helps
Is peppered water a gas?
no it would not be a gas considering you can see it gas normally is invisible or floating
Why should water not be used to put out a gasoline fire?
You would be better off using sand to smother a gas fire assuming it's not a large blaze. Gasoline floats on top of water, so you would in effect spread the fire if you used water.
Why does a fire go out when you pour cold water on it?
Fire needs Oxygen gas to burn. The water pushes the Oxygen gas away from the fire, preventing it from burning.
What do you get when you put gas and fire together?
WATER
Which appliances use gas in the home?
Water boiler, Cooker and Gas Fire.
Why shouldn't you spray water on a gas fire?
You shouldn't spray water on a gas fire because it can spread the flames and make the situation worse. Water can cause the burning gas to splash, potentially igniting other flammable materials nearby. Additionally, using water on a gas fire can create steam, which may lead to burns or increased danger. It's safer to use a fire extinguisher rated for gas fires or to turn off the gas supply if possible.
Can you put a natural gas fire out with water?
Using water to extinguish a natural gas fire is not advisable and can be dangerous. Water may not effectively suppress the flames and could spread the fire if it causes the burning gas to splash or if the fire is on a surface that can conduct heat. Instead, it's best to shut off the gas supply if safe to do so and use a fire extinguisher rated for gas fires. Always prioritize personal safety and call emergency services if needed.

What is the best way to put out a small kitchen fire?
Turn off any gas and pour water on the fire and/or beat it with a wet rag. If it is a regular fire, water will work, do turn off any gas. If it is an electrical or grease fire, you would use a fire extinguisher or flour.

How is gas made from?

Can you start water on fire?
yes if you pour gasoline on the top the gas is an oil, and will stay on the top of the water once the gasoline burns out, so will the fire
What type of gas is let out when we start a fire?
CO2, water vapor, ash particles all come out of a fire.
