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 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.
Where can carbon dioxide be found?
fire extinguisher
How does carbon dioxide benefit life?
carbon dioxide help to extinguish fires..if something caught a fire,we would use a fire extinguisher which contains carbon dioxide and obviously we would keep oxygen away from the burning thing..
What is something you burn and it releases carbon dioxide?
Any carbon-containing item that burns in air will form carbon dioxide...so seriously, you could pick just about anything, set it on fire and get carbon dioxide.
Is a fire extingusher a gas?
The contents of some fire extinguishers are indeed a gass (Carbon Dioxide)
What sort of fire is a carbon dioxide fire?
Carbon dioxide does not burn.
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 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
Can carbon dioxide come from fire?
Yes. Burning carbon or a carbon compound will produce carbon dioxide.
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.
Why wouldn't you use carbon dioxide on an electrical fire?
Carbon dioxide is actually an excellent choice for use on an electrical fire.
Do fire produce carbon dioxide?
Yes, forest fires do produce carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is used for putting out fire-give reason?
2 reasons why carbon dioxide is used in putting fire off
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.
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.
