LA PRESENCIA DE UN GAS QUE APAGA EL FUEGO (THE PRESENCE OF AN OFF GAS TO THE FIRE)
INTRODUCTION
This science project shows that not all gases are the cause of the fire, there are several gases that cause the flame is extinguished. Therefore we developed the first fire extinguisher ready and try to prove one of the most important gases in our planet's carbon dioxide. PROBLEM
It is possible that the presence of gas off the fire?
HYPOTHESIS
There are different gases that can turn off the fire.
MATERIAL
1. 1 Bottle of any carbonated beverage, unopened.
2. Matches. Baking soda (bought at the pharmacy).
3. 1 stomach effervescent antacid tablet (Sonrisal,Alka-Seltzer, etc.)..
4. 1 bottle of mineral water, closed.
INFORMATION
The presence of a gas that extinguishes fire (carbon dioxide), analyzing various sources of it.
When you turn the match there is a phenomenon called combustion, chemical phenomenon which produces much energy as light and heat. To maintain the combustion oxygen is needed which is a gas that is mixed with air and is very important for life on our planet. If there is no oxygen the fire goes out, as long oxygen around the combustion will remain and we heat and light.
By analyzing the gas ready to prove our hypothesis which is the chemical reaction between baking soda (a base) and vinegar (weak acid) is carbon dioxide. As is heavier than air, facing the match expels oxygen. Without oxygen the flame goes out.
When you mix baking soda and vinegar becomes an effervescence that seems fun during this reaction shows carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is formed by a molecule of carbon and two oxygen and is in our lungs expel air when breathe in all combustion releases carbon dioxide that has the property to extinguish the fire.
PROCEDURE
PART 1
1) Open a bottle of sparkling beverage.
2) Bringing a lit match to the mouth
