Petroleum (from Latin: petra: "rock" + oleum: "oil". [1][2][3][4][5][6]) is a naturally occurring, yellow-to-black liquid found in geological formations beneath the Earth's surface. It is commonly refined into various types of fuels. Components of petroleum are separated using a technique called fractional distillation i.e separation of a liquid mixture into fractions differing in boiling point by means of distillation, typically using a fractionating column.
It consists of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and other organic compounds.[7] The name petroleum covers both naturally occurring unprocessed crude oil and petroleum products that are made up of refined crude oil. A fossil fuel, petroleum is formed when large quantities of dead organisms, usually zooplankton and algae, are buried underneath sedimentary rock and subjected to both intense heat and pressure.
Petroleum has mostly been recovered by oil drilling (natural petroleum springs are rare). Drilling is carried out after studies of structural geology (at the reservoir scale), sedimentary basin analysis, and reservoir characterization (mainly in terms of the porosity and permeability of geologic reservoir structures) have been completed.[8][9] It is refined and separated, most easily by distillation, into a large number of consumer products, from gasoline (petrol) and kerosene to asphalt and chemical reagentsused to make plastics and pharmaceuticals.[10] Petroleum is used in manufacturing a wide variety of materials,[11] and it is estimated that the world consumes about 95 million barrels each day.
Concern over the depletion of the earth's finite reserves of oil, and the effect this would have on a society dependent on it, is a concept known as peak oil. The use of fossil fuels, such as petroleum, has a negative impact on Earth's biosphere, damaging ecosystemsthrough events such as oil spills and releasing a range of pollutants into the air including ground-level ozone and sulfur dioxide from sulfur impurities in fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels is thought to play a major role in the current episode of global warming.

A áre extinguisher is a áre protection device used to extinguish or control small áres. It usually consists of a hand held cylinder containing an agent which can be discharged to extinguish áre. The main principle of áre extinguishers is to cut off the supply of oxygen which is a supporter of combustion. This is done by increasing the level of CO which is a non supporter of combustion and therefore the áre ceases. This CO is produced by the reaction between soda and acid. The mixture used in soda-acid áre extinguisher is Sodium bicarbonate solution and Sulphuric acid.The reaction is as follows:
2NaHCO↓3 + H↓2SO↓4 → Na↓2SO↓4 + 2H↓2O + 2CO↓2
