What else can I help you with?
Which gas do fire fighters use?
firefighters use carbon dioxide to put out fires.
What sort of fire is a carbon dioxide fire?
Carbon dioxide does not burn.
What is the fire extinguishers co 2 used for?
The carbon dioxide fire extinguisher can be used on electrical fires, where there is a danger of an electrical shock if a soda water extinguisher was used.
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 a carbon dioxide extingusher put out a eletrical fire?
A carbon dioxide extinguisher puts out an electrical fire by displacing oxygen around the fire and cooling the surrounding area. CO2 is a non-conductive gas, making it safe for use on electrical fires, as it won't conduct electricity and can effectively suffocate the flames. By reducing the oxygen concentration, the extinguisher helps to extinguish the fire without causing damage to electrical equipment.
Why carbon dioxide is better than water for putting out electrical fire and oil?
Beacause fire needs oxygen to stay lit, and water has oxygen in it.
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
What class fire extinguisher should be used on electrical fires such as desktop pcs?
Carbon Dioxide(CO2) or Dry Powder.
Can carbon dioxide come from fire?
Yes. Burning carbon or a carbon compound will produce carbon dioxide.
Do fire produce carbon dioxide?
Yes, forest fires do produce carbon dioxide.
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.
