 Fire can be controlled or put out by taking away one of the three things required for burning. The first way is to take away the fuel. If the fire has no fuel to feed on, no burning can take place. The second way is to prevent oxygen from reaching it. Small fires can be put out with a damp blanket or a sack. This stops oxygen from reaching the burning material. Sometimes carbon dioxide is used for extinguishing fire. 

The third way of putting out a fire is to remove the heat. If the temperature can be brought down below the flash point, the fuel stops burning. Blowing on a burning matchstick or a candle removes the hot air around the flame, bringing down its temperature below the flash point. Sometimes water is sprayed on a fire. It absorbs heat from the burning fuel and lowers the temperature. It also cuts off the supply of oxygen, and therefore, fire is extinguished.

If water is sprayed onto an oil fire, then the oil will float to the top of the water and continue to burn. This can be very dangerous because water can flow quickly, carrying the burning oil with it and spreading the fire. In case of an electrical fire, the person spraying water might receive an electric shock and be killed. Therefore, spraying water is not a good way of putting out an oil fire or an electrical fire

It is a “bad master” because if it is not kept under control, it can prove very dangerous. Each year thousands of homes and shops are damaged by fire. Vast areas of forest are also destroyed and hundreds of people are killed or injured.

Some of the common uses of fire are to cook food, warm the homes in winter and to generate electricity.

(Hint : Due to unbalanced bombardment of the dispersed phase particles by the molecules of the dispersion medium.)

Due to nearly same energy of 45 & 3d orbitals of tr. metal, electrons of there orbitals participate in bond formation. Hence oxidation states of tr. metals is variable.

Half time of a reaction:-

The time taken for a reaction when half of the reactant has reactaed is called Half time of reaction and donoted by t^1/2.

Brownian movement:-

It involves the motion of colloidal particles in Zig-Zag Paths.

Potassium hexa cyno ferrate (II)

Point defect:-

The defect in which irregularties from ideal arrangement around a point occur, is called point defect.

The defect arrise when some of the ions of the lattice occupy interstitial sites leaving lattice site vacent is called frenkel defect. This defect occurs in ionic crystal where anion is much larger in size then the cation.

ex. AgBr, ZnS.
