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