Fires need oxygen to burn. Without it, the fire goes out. Using CO2 displaces oxygen in the environment.
We are use the co2 as fire extinguisher
CO2 - carbon dioxide
Fire needs oxygen (O2), and when you pour CO2 on the flame, it replaces the oxygen, and the combustion in the flame can no longer happen. Kind of the same principle of why you can't breath underwater. You nor a flame can breath CO2 or water.
Because the three things that are needed to start a fire is fuel oxygen and a source of heat. The co2 takes the place of the oxygen and puts it out
A carbon dioxide extinguisher puts out an electrical fire by displacing oxygen around the fire and cooling the surrounding area. CO2 is a non-conductive gas, making it safe for use on electrical fires, as it won't conduct electricity and can effectively suffocate the flames. By reducing the oxygen concentration, the extinguisher helps to extinguish the fire without causing damage to electrical equipment.
CO2 fire extingushers are all purpose fire extingushers, due to the fact that CO2 is heavier than air and is not conductive to electricity like water, it can be used on any type of fire. in some instances other extinguishing agents may be more effective however, like class k extinguishers on grease fires or good old water on larger fires.
CO2(carbon Dioxide)
Yes. The CO2 suffocates that fire by depleting the oxygen feeding it.
It goes out.

The amount of CO2 generated from electricity (kWh) is dependant upon the way the electricity is generated. Burning a barrel of oil to produce electricity yields far more CO2 than generating the same amount of electricity from wind or water. One should contact their electricity provider to get a break-down of how the electricity is generated.
Because Water puts fire out.
