What happens to the particles in carbon dioxide gas when compressed in a fire extinguisher?
The gas becomes a liquid inside the extinguisher. When the extinguisher is operated, the liquid changes back to a gas when released.
Why is carbon doixide a liqiud at room temperature when it is in a fire extunisher?
Carbon dioxide is a liquid in a fire extinguisher because it is kept under high pressure inside the extinguisher. This high pressure compresses the gas molecules together, causing them to condense into a liquid form at room temperature. When the fire extinguisher is activated, the liquid carbon dioxide is released as a gas, which helps smother the fire by displacing oxygen around it.
Why carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher turns into a liquid?
It does not. Technical input: compressed CO2 might be in liquid form INSIDE the fire extinguisher because it is under more than about 5 atmospheres of pressure.
Where can carbon dioxide found?
fire extinguisher
Who invented the carbon dioxide fire extinguisher?
The first carbon dioxide portable fire extinguisher in the USA was made by Walter Kidde & Co., Inc. in 1924.
What extinguisher use on gas fire?
Carbon dioxide
Which gas is used as fire extinguisher?
Carbon Dioxide
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 fire do use a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher on?
A CO2 fire extinguisher will work on flammable liquid and electrical fires only. If used on any other type of fire they will just give it more oxygen and it will spread.
What is the state of the carbon dioxide in a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher?
The state is dependent upon the temperature. At 70 degrees F and below, some of the carbon dioxide is in the form of a liquid, with some vapor. If the temperature exceeds 88 degrees F (the critical temperature of carbon dioxide), the liquid phase disappears, and the contents of the extinguisher is vapor. The majority of the CO2 stored in a fire extinguisher is a liquid under pressure of more than 5 atmospheres. The boiling temperature of carbon dioxide is 70 degrees Fahrenheit BELOW zero at 5.2 bar (about 73 psi), meaning it is liquid or supercritical fluid at room temperature if it is compressed at more pressure than that.
What does carbon dioxide do in a soda acid fire extinguisher?
It is the propellant used to force water out of the extinguisher.
Which type of fire extinguisher works best to put out a computer fire?
A carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguisher is best for putting out a computer fire.
