Why is carbon dioxide sometimes found in buildings?
When it is on fire, the fire lets off carbon dioxode
Can you ignite a fire with carbon and oxygen?
No, three things are needed the ignite a fire, carbon (fuel), oxygen and heat.
Does removing carbon dioxidee prevent a fire starting?
It's actually the other way round. Carbon dioxide is used in some fire extinguishers to put fires out. It prevents oxygen from reaching the fire and the fire cannot continue to burn.
How do you dispose of carbon paper?
Just put a fire
What type of gas does fire release?
carbon dioxide
What is produced after a fire?
Fire releases heat and carbon dioxide. The carbon depends on how the fire is burnt. Unburnt hydrocarbons are released if fire is not complete.
What sort of fire is a carbon dioxide fire?
Carbon dioxide does not burn.
Why is carbon dioxide sometimes found in buildings?
When it is on fire, the fire lets off carbon dioxode
What happens when there is carbon dioxide around a fire?
the fire should exstinguish a carbon dioxide puts out flames as it is a common fire extinguisher
What gas does fire create?
It depends on the fire, but if the fuel is largely organic matter and the amount of air is not restricted, the gas from the fire will be largely carbon dioxide and water vapor.
How carbon dioxide control fire?
3 elements are needed for a fire: fuel, oxygen (air), and heat. The carbon dioxide is used to displace the oxygen being used in a fire. Since fire has no more oxygen available because it is replaced by the carbon dioxide, the fire will go out.
Can carbon dioxide come from fire?
Yes. Burning carbon or a carbon compound will produce carbon dioxide.
Can you ignite a fire with carbon and oxygen?
No, three things are needed the ignite a fire, carbon (fuel), oxygen and heat.
Why do fire extinguishers have carbon dioxide when fire is made out of carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide is significantly denser than air and tends to settle on the ground displacing oxygen and putting out the fire. Nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere so 100% nitrogen isn't very different in density than air.
Why you use carbon dioxide in fire extinguish equipments?
Because carbon dioxide is not flammable and things cannot burn in it. So if it envelopes a fire, that fire will go out.
Why wouldn't you use carbon dioxide on an electrical fire?
Carbon dioxide is actually an excellent choice for use on an electrical fire.
Is carbon fiber waterproof?
yes carbon fibre fire proof
