Fire is the result of a combustion reaction, where a carbon based compound reacts with oxygen to create water, CO2 and sometimes other substances. By using CO2 on a fire, it pushes out any oxygen that would otherwise feed the fire and ends the reaction, or puts out the fire.
Because it is heavier than air and non-flammable, so it displaces the air and smothers the fire.
A fire extinguisher containing carbon dioxide or a fire blanket can be used to put out small laboratory fires. It's important to have the appropriate fire safety equipment readily available in laboratories to ensure quick and effective response to any fire emergencies.
HYDROCARBON + OXYGENÜ CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER
Oxygen is required to have a flame. If there is too little oxygen available, the flame will go out. Natural atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide have no effect on the flame. If the CO2 concentration is high enough, it can extinguish the flame by lowering the amount available oxygen e.g. covering a candle with a jar.
Helium, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide (least to most dense)
No you dont. Carbon dioxide contains 1 part carbon 2parts oxygen. You dont put out oxygen only carbon.
No. Hydrogen will easily ignite if it comes in contact if fire. Carbon dioxide is not flammable at all and can even be used to put out a fire.
No, carbon dioxide does not put flames out. It is non-flammable and does not support combustion. When carbon dioxide is released onto a fire, it can displace oxygen, which in turn can smother the fire by removing one of the elements needed for combustion.
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.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas often used to put out fires, especially in fire extinguishers.
Baking soda can be used to put out a fire because it releases carbon dioxide gas when heated, which helps to smother the flames by displacing oxygen.
In fire extinguishers, they put carbon dioxide in it because it extinguishes fires. The two ingredients of carbon dioxide are; baking soda and vinegar.
Well I use carbon dioxide in my fire extinguisher. What do you use carbon dioxide, or to put it another way? In what do you use carbon dioxide? Humans breathe out carbon dioxide... Breathing it out is not exactly using it. That would be more like making it.
to help plants and to put in fire extinguisher
Carbon dioxide is used in everyday life in various ways, such as in carbonated beverages to make them fizzy, in fire extinguishers to put out fires, and in greenhouses to help plants grow.
Carbon Dioxide [CO2] controls, and can extinguish, a fire due to the fact that the addition of CO2 to the air, results in reducing the relative percentage of Oxygen [O2] to a concentration below that necessary for combustion ["burning"] to occur.
Of the four materials listed in the question, only oxygen could never effectively put out a fire.
firefighters use carbon dioxide to put out fires.
