It will 'smother' the flame, putting out the fire. It displaces oxygen because it is heavier than oxygen (44 g/mole vs 32 g/mole).
What else can I help you with?
What gas puts out a flame?
CO2(carbon Dioxide)
What happens when you put a flame into carbon dioxide fumes?
The flame will go out as it is deprived of oxygen.
When the carbon dioxide gas was poured over the flame why was the flame extinguished?
Carbon dioxide is a heavy gas that displaces oxygen, which is necessary for a flame to burn. By pouring carbon dioxide over the flame, the oxygen around the flame is depleted, causing the flame to be extinguished.
Does carbon dioxide burn with a pop?
No, carbon dioxide is non-flammable and does not burn. When carbon dioxide is exposed to a flame, it will not react or produce a popping sound.
What gas comes off a burning flame?
Carbon dioxide and water vapor come from a flame.
Does carbon monoxide burn?
Yes, carbon monoxide burns with a blue flame, producing carbon dioxide.
Does carbon dioxide cause a small explosion when exposed to flame?
Carbon dioxide is non-flammable and does not support combustion, so it does not cause an explosion when exposed to flame. In fact, carbon dioxide is often used in fire extinguishers to suppress fires by displacing oxygen and cooling the flames.
Which gas is needed to put out a flame?
Co2 (carbon dioxide) x
What chemical is given off in a burning flame?
The chemical given off in a burning flame is carbon dioxide (CO2) along with water vapor (H2O). Additionally, the color of the flame can be influenced by different chemicals present in the material being burned, such as sodium (yellow), copper (blue-green), or strontium (red).
Why do carbon dioxide and water vapour rise above the flame?
Carbon dioxide and water vapor rise above the flame because they are products of combustion that have higher temperatures and lower densities than the surrounding air. This causes them to be buoyant and therefore they rise upwards above the flame.
Hydrogen and carbon dioxide cannot be seen how could you use a wooden splint and a flame to identify each of these gases?
You can identify hydrogen and carbon dioxide by lighting a wooden splint and putting it near the gasses. Since hydrogen is flammable, the flame will get bigger. Since carbon dioxide does not burn, it may get smaller or go out.
If you burn a candle will there be carbon dioxide?
The flame will go out, because carbon dioxide removes the oxygen from the area surrounding the flame. Fire requires oxygen to burn, much like humans need oxygen to breath, and similar to carbon dioxide does to humans, the flame will lose its oxygen and go out.
