Why is a carbon dioxide extinguisher effective on many fires?

1. ACO₂ adds oxygen to cool the flames
2. BCO₂ reacts chemically with the fuel to make it non-flammable
3. CCO₂ is denser than air and pushes oxygen away from the fire
4. DCO₂ is a liquid that soaks into the fuel

3. CAn electron pair donor
4. DA proton (H⁺) acceptor

A reaction at equilibrium has a very large equilibrium constant (K much greater than 1). What does this tell you?

1. AThe reaction is very fast
2. BAt equilibrium, the mixture contains mostly reactants
3. CAt equilibrium, the mixture contains mostly products
4. DThe reaction cannot reach equilibrium

Alpha radiation is stopped by skin, yet an alpha source is very dangerous if swallowed or inhaled. Why?

1. AAlpha particles turn into much more penetrating gamma rays once inside the body
2. BInside the body, alpha particles deposit all their energy in nearby living cells
3. CStomach acid makes the alpha source more radioactive
4. DAlpha particles are only produced at body temperature
