Answer:

Carbon dioxide extinguishers work because carbon dioxide molecules are heavier than oxygen molecules and when the liquid carbon dioxide inside the extinguisher expands into a gas, the carbon dioxide pushes out any oxygen surrounding the fire which helps as an excellent fire extinguisher.

Answer:

The carbon dioxide considered the best fire extinguisher to put off fires caused by burning of inflammable liquids such as petrol or oil because carbon dioxide stops the influence of oxygen because it decreases the oxygen present in that fire which leads to the fallout of fire.
