Dear student,

Kindly post each question separately for better answering.
Answering the above part of your question (before "OR")


(i)Fireflies undergo a chemical reaction in body by reaction of oxygen, calcium, adenosine triphosphate and luciferin to produce an enzyme which glows called bioluminescent enzyme and process is called bioluminescence.
(ii) Fire extinguishers produces a non combustible gas CO2 by the following reaction
2NaHCO3 + H2SO4 ⇒ Na2SO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2
which helps in stopping fire.

Hope it helps
Regards
