How do you produce less carbon dioxide?
By restricting the burning of wood and coal we can reduce the production of carbon dioxide. To minimize the production of carbon dioxide we should also restrict direct oxidation of carbon.
Why should the amount of carbon in the atmosphere today be reduced?
The present levels of carbon dioxide dioxide in the atmosphere are causing global warming and climate change.
How could you test that carbon dioxide is made?
To test for the production of carbon dioxide, you can perform the following experiment: Add a small amount of a substance that can produce carbon dioxide, such as baking soda, to a container. Then, add an acid, such as vinegar, to the container. If the production of carbon dioxide occurs, you will observe bubbling or fizzing, indicating the release of carbon dioxide gas.
Can carbon dioxide effect the gas of limewater?
the limewater should go cloudy! i'm not 100percent sure
What is one part oxygen and two parts carbon?
The formula should be C2O, but there is no compound that way. The other way around (one carbon and two oxygen) is known. It is carbon dioxide or CO2.
What class of fires are carbon dioxide fire extinguishers most commonly used on?
Carbon Dioxide based extinguishers are classified by the letters BC and ABC. They are primarily used in laboratories and should not be used in homes or businesses.
Which fire extinguishers put out oil fires?
Type 'B' which can be used on petrol, diesel or oils. That is either a Foam or a Powder extinguisher. Foam extinguishers usually contain additives that are carcinogenic. Care should be taken with the cleaning up process after the fire has been put out. Care should be taken whilst using powder units in confined spaces, do not inhale the powder
Why does carbon dioxide helps to make foam that firefighters use?
it is a non-flammable gas that is effective at starving a fire of oxygen. Like other fire extinguishers (foam and water) it is only recommended for fighting certain types of fire. more infromation and recommendations on their use should be available through the fire department.
What fire extinguisher not to use in coffined space?
A carbon dioxide extinguisher (used on electrical installation fires) should not be used in a confined space, as the user could be overcome and be asphyxiated (deprived of air).
What is frequency of carbon dioxide extinguisher refilling?
All extinguishers should be professionally inspected annually. Call your local fire department business number for advise on finding a reputable local inspector. Refilling or recharging should be done by, and on the advice of, a professional.
How do you produce less carbon dioxide?
By restricting the burning of wood and coal we can reduce the production of carbon dioxide. To minimize the production of carbon dioxide we should also restrict direct oxidation of carbon.
What is Carbon Dioxide's Atomic Mass?
First of all, carbon dioxide is a molecule and hence the question should be: What is the molecular mass of carbon dioxide? and the answer is 12 + (2 x 16) = 48
What should you not touch the horn or connecting pipe when using a carbon dioxide extinguisher?
why should uou not touch the horn or pipe when using carbon dioxide extinguisher
What is the proper use for a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher?
If the question you're trying to ask is "Why can someone use carbon dioxide as a fire extinguisher?" The answer is that all combustion reactions (burning) require oxygen. Overwhelming the environment surrounding the fire with CO2 limits the amount of oxygen available to the reaction, stopping the fire.
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
How can you show that you breathe carbon dioxide?
By blowing into a test tube of bicarbonate of soda, this should turn cloudy if carbon dioxide is present
What is in antique fire extinguishers?
Much like modern ones, antique fire extinguishers used a range of extinguishing agents. Carbon tetrachloride, water, and carbon dioxide were most common. Carbon tetrachloride is a liquid that was used in glass grenade-type extinguishers or pumped metal extinguishers. While it is quite effective at putting out fires, it is extremely poisonous, and should be disposed of by professionals. This material fights fires by disrupting the chemical chain reaction. When exposed to high temperatures, it can produce phosgene, an insidious poison gas used during both world wars. Halon extinguishers replaced this type, and have, in turn, been replaced by newer clean agents less harmful to the ozone layer. Water extinguishers were either operated by a hand pump or propelled using a soda-acid system. In the latter, a glass vial containing sulfuric acid was suspended over baking soda. The vial was shattered, spilled, or unplugged by a plunger or other mechanism when the extinguisher was needed. Instructions on this type typically started by telling you to turn the extinguisher upside-down and strike the top against the floor. The sulfuric acid reacted with the baking soda much as vinegar would, only faster and more violently. The resulting carbon-dioxide gas would propel the water, typically 2.5 gallons, out through the hose. This type was removed from service by 1982 because the reaction would often not last long enough to expel all the water and the containers had an unfortunate tendency to explode when used. The similar air pressurized water extinguishers have replaced this type. Carbon dioxide extinguishers remain in use and are easily identified by the horn used to direct the extinguishing agent and the lack of a pressure gauge. These extinguishers contain liquefied carbon dioxide. While carbon dioxide gas mixed with dry ice is what comes out when you use the extinguisher, internally, the agent is a liquid under those pressures. Because carbon dioxide extinguishers in service, it is possible to have tested and refilled an extinguisher of this type. While an extinguisher has an expected service life of 25 years, they are often overbuilt and underused. I recently had serviced two carbon dioxide extinguishers that were manufactured in 1960, and used from then until 1992. Interestingly, even though they were not entirely full, they retained significant pressure even after having been stored for 18 years. Some fire extinguishers are simply filled with compressed Nitrogen, which choke out combustion because it cannot survive in a pure Nitrogen atmosphere. The Simplex-Grinnell UN 1066 is such an extinguisher.
