Question

Does combustion of carbon dioxide in fire extinguisher stop fire

Answer 1

It prevents the chemical reactions involving heat, fuel, and oxygen (combustion), thus extinguishing thefire. ... In the heat of a fire, it releases a cloud of carbon dioxide that smothers the fire. That is, the gas drives oxygen away from the fire, thus stopping the chemical reaction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, combustion of carbon dioxide in fire extinguisher stops fire.

For fires involving electrical equipment and inflammable materials like petrol, carbon dioxide (CO2) is the best extinguisher. CO2, being heavier than oxygen, covers the fire like a blanket. Since the contact between the fuel and oxygen is cut off, the fire is controlled.
