Fire extinguishers that spray carbon dioxide on the fire, work very effectively because it forms a blanket around the burning ma

terial. But these carbon dioxide extinguishers cannot be used for wood fires. Why?
a. The carbon dioxide blanket itself acts as a fuel and starts burning along with the wood.

b. The extinguished wood can retain enough heat inside the carbon dioxide blanket to re-ignite when the gas disappears.

c. In the presence of carbon dioxide from the extinguisher, the burning wood reacts with oxygen to release heat and make the fire worse.

d. Carbon dioxide reacts with wood to give carbon and oxygen; the oxygen makes the fire worse and the carbon burns along with the wood.

Calculate the ph of a 0.005 m solution of potassium oxide k2o
Alecsey [184]
First, we have to see how K2O behaves when it is dissolved in water:

K2O + H20 = 2 KOH

According to reaction K2O has base properties, so it forms a hydroxide in water.
For the reaction next relation follows:

c(KOH) : c(K2O) = 1 : 2

So,

c(KOH)= 2 x c(K2O)= 2 x 0.005 = 0.01 M = c(OH⁻)

Now we can calculate pH:

pOH= -log c(OH⁻) = -log 0.01 = 2

pH= 14-2 = 12
