Answer:

The carbon dioxide is also very cold as it comes out of the extinguisher, so it cools the fuel as well. CO2s may be ineffective at extinguishing Class A fires because they may not be able to displace enough oxygen to successfully put the fire out.

Hope it helps:-):-):-)

CORRECTION CO2 not CO

\huge\bold\pink{ANSWER:}

Carbon dioxide has 5 reasons to be considered as the best fire extinguisher.

It's a non-combustible gas.

It's heavier than air,

It helps to bring down the amount of air supply and the ignition temperature.

It can be used on all kinds of fires,

It doesn't conduct electricity and can be effectively used to extinguish fires due to electrical reasons.

As Fire needs oxygen to burn, Carbon Dioxide Covers the fire like an blanket and cuts the contact of fire to the oxygen present in the air, So Fire stops burning.That is why Carbon Dioxide is Considere as the best Fire Extinguisher.
