I know that the yellow colour comes from carbon particles, which loses energy when it reaches a certain distance and becomes smoke (my guess). So this determines the shape/size of the fire? The blue colour from bunsen burners and stoves come from sulfur or something added to the gas to give a a smell yea? What I don’t get is how the fire is sustained by rapid oxidation and how this is all related to my energy. My head is about to explode.

I have to do this science fair project and I decided to do it on spontaneous combustion. I need to know how to put the fire out if it starts to combust. So if you can’t put it out with a water fire extinguisher is there another way you can put it out. (other than a chemical fire extinguisher. If not is there a way I could find one to use?
I am using common household items the four I am planning to use are Pledge, Windex, Armor All, and Goo Gone.

It looks like sugar in its solid form, and when you get it in contact with a living organism in it’s liquid form, after you heat it up, it burns, or catches on fire. Like if you put a popsicle stick in a glass vial of its liquid form, it would catch on fire.

I have always wondered what was in fire extinguishers that were able to put fires out. Is it just water, or something else? Thanks for answering!
