Question

which gas is used to extinguish fire

Answer 1

Hi there

Sodium bicarbonate, regular or ordinary used on class B and C fires, was the first of the dry chemical agents developed. 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.


Thank You

Answer 2

Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
