How does one prevent such a fire from happening

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

water

Explanation:

Water puts out fire by creating a barrier between the fuel source and the oxygen source (it also has a cooling effect which has to do with the energy required to convert liquid water into water vapor). It does this because it is a completely, 100% oxidized material. It simply cannot oxidize any further so it will not “burn”. This smothers the fire. The same thing would happen if you used the ashes that remained after a completely spent fire. Or, as I mentioned before, CO2.

During a controlled experiment, a scientist isolates and tests A. a conclusion. B. a mass of information. C. a control group. D.

Svetlanka [38]

During a controlled experiment, a scientist will isolate and test (D) a single variable. A conclusion, nor a mass of information can be isolated or tested. A control group is the group that would receive a placebo, so testing that would be futile.
