In water oxygen and hydrogen are present in the ratio of 1:8 and can extinguish fire. can a mixture containing same gases in the same ratio by mass be used for extinguishing fire like water?

Dear student

We can not use a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen to extinguish  a fire as the mixture would retain the properties of its constituents

Hence oxygen wil rather support combustion and hydrogen being highly inflammable will burn with a pop sound

Thanks
