Fire releases heat and carbon dioxide. The carbon depends on how the fire is burnt. Unburnt hydrocarbons are released if fire is not complete.
Fire primarily creates carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other combustion byproducts such as carbon monoxide and particulate matter. This combination of gases and particles is what produces the flames and heat that we see and feel during a fire.
carbon dioxide help to extinguish fires..if something caught a fire,we would use a fire extinguisher which contains carbon dioxide and obviously we would keep oxygen away from the burning thing..
Carbon dioxide is commonly used to extinguish flames because it displaces oxygen, which is necessary for combustion to occur. When carbon dioxide is sprayed onto a fire, it reduces the oxygen levels around the flames, suffocating the fire and causing it to go out.
Nope - the gas is colourless !
The contents of some fire extinguishers are indeed a gass (Carbon Dioxide)
Carbon dioxide does not burn.
Fire releases heat and carbon dioxide. The carbon depends on how the fire is burnt. Unburnt hydrocarbons are released if fire is not complete.
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.
the fire should exstinguish a carbon dioxide puts out flames as it is a common fire extinguisher
Yes. Burning carbon or a carbon compound will produce carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is actually an excellent choice for use on an electrical fire.
Yes, forest fires do produce carbon dioxide.
3 elements are needed for a fire: fuel, oxygen (air), and heat. The carbon dioxide is used to displace the oxygen being used in a fire. Since fire has no more oxygen available because it is replaced by the carbon dioxide, the fire will go out.
2 reasons why carbon dioxide is used in putting fire off
carbon dioxide is significantly denser than air and tends to settle on the ground displacing oxygen and putting out the fire. Nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere so 100% nitrogen isn't very different in density than air.
the thing that puts out fires you idiot
