Answer:-

Baking soda, (sodium bicarbonate) is used in fire extinguishers. When sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is heated by the fire it becomes sodium carbonate. The carbon dioxide starves the fire of oxygen smothering the fire and the water that is released cools the heat source.

2NaHCO3 + H2SO4

Na2SO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2
