Watch Mr Currie's Fat Fire Experiment with Year 12 Chemistry.

The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the increased rate of a chemical reaction between a liquid and a gas when the surface area of the liquid is increased. Another important outcome is to demonstrate the unsafe way to put out an oil fire. Never put water on it!
