Sodium Hydrogen carbonate or Sodium Bicarbonate is used in making Soda-acid fire extinguishers. (Option 1 is correct)

  • It is the best fire douser for home use.  
  • It can be made manually or even on large scale in factories.
  • The fire quencher contains sodium bicarbonate in water along with sulfuric acid in a different container.
  • By turning the handle on it, the sulphuric acid reacts with the sodium bicarbonate and creates a little measure of carbon dioxide gas.
  • It is heavier than air and thus removes the oxygen supply to the air, extinguishing the blazes.
  • The reaction: 2NaHCO₃ + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O + 2CO₂
