What is the inside pressure of liquid Carbon dioxide fire extinguisher?

I have read it some where that the inside pressure of Co2 in fire extinguisher is 55 to 58 kg/cm2 at 21 deg C. However the pressure varies as per the ambient temperature.


Why carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher turns into a liquid?

It does not. Technical input: compressed CO2 might be in liquid form INSIDE the fire extinguisher because it is under more than about 5 atmospheres of pressure.


Why is carbon doixide a liqiud at room temperature when it is in a fire extunisher?

Carbon dioxide is a liquid in a fire extinguisher because it is kept under high pressure inside the extinguisher. This high pressure compresses the gas molecules together, causing them to condense into a liquid form at room temperature. When the fire extinguisher is activated, the liquid carbon dioxide is released as a gas, which helps smother the fire by displacing oxygen around it.


How do fire extinguishers hold so much carbon dioxide?

Yes, carbon dioxide is found in some types of fire extinguishers. In others, nitrogen gas or compressed air is used. Some expensive types contain other pressurized gases such as Halotron or similar "clean agents" that leave no residue.


How does carbon dioxide get inside the plant?

through the stomata


Why does the part of leaf inside the bottle containing potassium hydroxide solution not get carbon dioxide?

The leaf inside the bottle containing potassium hydroxide solution does not receive carbon dioxide because the potassium hydroxide absorbs the carbon dioxide present in the air. This creates a carbon dioxide-free environment inside the bottle, preventing the leaf from undergoing photosynthesis.


How does carbon dioxide and water moves in out of a cell?

The carbon dioxide will move in because if the amount of carbon dioxide fluid is greater outside the cell then the carbon dioxide will diffuse in so that the amount of carbon dioxide inside and outside of the cell will be an equillibrium


How does carbon dioxide CO2 get inside the plant?
