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.
How does the addition of carbon dioxide affect a fire?
The addition of carbon dioxide to a fire can extinguish it because carbon dioxide displaces oxygen, which is necessary for the fire to burn. This process suffocates the fire, preventing it from continuing to burn.
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.
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.
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.
Carbon dioxide is used for putting out fire-give reason?
2 reasons why carbon dioxide is used in putting fire off
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.
What gas does fire create?
Fire primarily creates carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other combustion byproducts such as carbon monoxide and particulate matter. This combination of gases and particles is what produces the flames and heat that we see and feel during a fire.
Does fire need carbon dioxide to burn?
No. Fire need fuel, oxygen, and heat to burn. Carbon dioxide is a product of most fires and can actually be used to put fires out.
