Question

differentiate between Water and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The fire extinguishing process for water and carbon dioxide is as follows: Explanation: Water act as a barrier between the fuel and the oxygen present in the air this prevents the combustion effect whereas the carbon dioxide takes the place of oxygen so there will be no combustion of fuel.

Water helps to extinguish a fire by cooling the substance that is undergoing combustion and bringing its temperature below its ignition temperature. The water vapor formed due to the heat of fire surrounds the substance that undergoes combustion and cuts the supply of oxygen.

Carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen. So, it covers the fire like a blanket and cuts off the oxygen supply, thus putting off the fire.
