Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The statement '' water not used to extinguish most fires in an organic laboratory" should be explained. Also, the safety issues with the given scenario should be explained.

Concept introduction:

The interaction of water and organic compounds makes them unusable as a fire control measure in an organic laboratory. Organic compounds are generally lighter than water and thus float on water. When water is used as a control measure to put out fire the fire is spread due to the flow of water.

An organic laboratory is guided to follow a set of precautious measures which helps in reducing the risks of accident breakout. These measures include use proper disposal and aeration of labs.
