How much does a soda acid fire extinguisher cost?
$200
Why is soda acid extinguisher unsafe for a burning television?
A soda acid fire extinguisher uses water as a carrier of the soda/acid. A television fire is primarily an electrical fire. Adding water to an electrical fire will only complicate the problem by introducing the possibility of shorts and electrocution. bock442
What does carbon dioxide do in a soda acid fire extinguisher?
It is the propellant used to force water out of the extinguisher.
What chemicals are used in making soda acid fire extinguisher?
hydrochloric acid and hydrogen
Why soda acid is banned in India as fire extinguishers?
Acid can corrode the metal shell of the extinguisher. When it is rapidly pressurized, it may explode. They are no longer an approved extinguisher in many nations.
How does carbon dioxide mix with powdered baking soda in a fire extinguisher?
It doesn't. The soda solution mixes with the acid and the chemical reaction FORMS carbon dioxide gas, which pressurizes the extinguisher.
What type of fire can be controlled by soda acid fire extinguisher?
A soda-acid extinguisher expells water (actually a dilute sodium sulfate solution formed by the reaction of the soda and the acid). Therefore, it's used on the same types of fires as normal water extinguishers; wood, paper, textiles and so on. It must NOT be used on burning liquids (which would be splashed around, sperading the fire) or on live electrical equipment (becuse of the risk of electrocution).
A compound of an antacid used in fire extinguisher?
baking soda
What is sodium bicarbonates function in the fire extinguisher?
In older soda/ acid extigushers, it generated carbon dioxide gas that propelled water from the extinguisher. In modern dry chemical extinguishers, it is the extiguishing agent- the same CO2 gas cuts off the oxygen to the fire.
What is the fastest way of cooling a soda?
spraying it with a c02 fire extinguisher
How does turning the fire extinguisher upside down cause the chemical reaction to occur?
One OLDER style of extinguisher was filled with water and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)- AND had a small bottle of an acid. When it was turned upside down, the acid ran out of the bottle, mixed with the soda, and produced carbon dioxide gas. The gas forced the water out under pressure. NOT USED ON MOST MODERN EXTINGUISHERS.
How do you use soda acid fire extinguisher?
In the USA it is no longer permissible to have soda-acid extinguishers for fire protection. They are obsolete. NFPA 1: 13.6.6 (2009). In other places, however, you would invert the tank, causing the acid to mix with the soda, creating CO2 gas, which pressurizes and pushes the acid/soda/water mixture out through the hose. Some units require you to whack a knob on the top to break the acid bottle before inverting the whole unit.
