explain how co2 able to control files
Answers
Explanation:
CO
2
is a non-combustible gas and it is also non-supporter of combustion. It extinguishes fire in two ways:
1. Since it is heavier than oxygen, it covers the fire like a blanket and cuts off the contact between oxygen and fuel.
2. In cylinders, CO
2
is kept in the liquid form. When released, it expands enormously and cools down. This brings down the temperature of the fuel, which helps in controlling the fire.
hope it helps make me as the BRAINLIEST PLS(I was the first)
give me some thanks on my answers

Explanation:
Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound that consists of one carbon and two oxygen atoms. It is a waste product that is made by our body. Carbon dioxide is non-combustible gas and it can be used to extinguish fire by flooding the area around the fire with the gas.
Carbon dioxide does not itself react to extinguish fire but it cuts the supply of oxygen by replacing or displacing it. Carbon dioxide covers the fire and cut-off the contact of oxygen and fuel. This is because carbon dioxide is heavier than the oxygen.
In the fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide is kept in the liquid form under pressure and it can work well on some of the small flammable liquid. When carbon dioxide is released, it expands enormously and cools down. Due to this temperature it brings down and this helps in controlling the fire.
These are some ways by which carbon dioxide is able to control the fires.
