Because there is more density and it prevents oxygen from getting to the fire.

How is carbon dioxide used in putting out fire?

Carbon dioxide displaces oxygen, without the oxygen most fires cannot continue burning.


What makes carbon dioxide suitable for putting out fires?

Carbon dioxide is suitable for putting out fires because it does not support combustion. When released into a fire, carbon dioxide displaces oxygen, which is essential for combustion to occur. This suffocates the fire and extinguishes it quickly. Additionally, carbon dioxide is non-conductive and leaves no residue, making it ideal for extinguishing electrical fires.


Does carbon dioxide extinguish fires?

Yes, carbon dioxide can extinguish fires by displacing oxygen and removing heat from the fire.


Do fire produce carbon dioxide?

Yes, forest fires do produce carbon dioxide.


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.


Do forest fires release carbon dioxide?

The amount of carbon dioxide emitted each year varies according to the amount of forest burnt. However, there is no net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide from forest fires, as long as the forests are allowed to recover and regrow.AnswerVery little, compared to human emissions. It's hard to say exactly... It is 25.687%, approximately, it is 25.7%it is 25.687%


Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere


Which gas do coal fires release?

Coal fires release carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to air pollution and climate change.


Do Factory's make carbon dioxide?

Only factories that use and burn coal produce carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Forest fires and humans produce the most carbon dioxide.


In what two ways do forest fires contribute to the rise of carbon dioxide?

They release carbon dioxide when they burn.The burnt trees are no longer available to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.


Oxygen is needed for things to burn water and carbon dioxide contains oxygen both water and carbon dioxide are used to put out fires why?

that is the answer


Why would carbon dioxide not put out a magnesium fire?

This is because once the magnesium starts to burn, the uninhibited chemical reaction dominates the fire's need for oxygen (carbon dioxide usually puts fires out by displacing oxygen). The magnesium will continue to burn until there is nothing left to burn.
