🔍 Key Concepts

• Foam behavior on flammable liquids (does it float on oil or sink below?) • Compatibility of foam concentrates with different water types (fresh vs salt water) • Primary hazards of foam compared to other agents like CO₂ or dry chemical

💭 Think About

• Think about how foam is used to fight an oil fire: what must its density be relative to the fuel for it to work? • Consider whether standard firefighting foam is normally used with seawater on ships; if so, what does that suggest about some of these options? • Ask yourself which option describes a realistic, known drawback of some foam types rather than an extreme or unlikely claim.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether foam normally floats on or sinks below burning oil. • Confirm whether shipboard foam systems are commonly designed to operate using seawater as the supply. • Check if foam is generally considered non‑conductive and relatively non‑corrosive, compared with other agents.
