What is the advantage of carbon dioxide over soda acid extinguisher?
The primary advantage of carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguishers over soda acid extinguishers is their effectiveness in suppressing fires without leaving a residue. CO2 extinguishers displace oxygen, smothering the fire, while soda acid extinguishers can leave behind a corrosive substance that may damage sensitive equipment. Additionally, CO2 extinguishers are suitable for use on electrical fires, whereas soda acid extinguishers are not recommended for such situations. This makes CO2 extinguishers more versatile and safer for various fire types.
Why must you be careful when using CO2 extinguishers?
Extremely cold, and displaces oxygen from the air.

Is solid co2 used in fire extinguishers?
Yes, solid carbon dioxide (CO2), commonly known as dry ice, is used in some fire extinguishers, specifically those designed for electrical and flammable liquid fires. When the dry ice sublimates, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which displaces oxygen and helps to smother the fire. However, most fire extinguishers use liquid CO2, which is more effective for the intended purpose.
