  • Carbon dioxide is used in the fire extinguisher as it has cooling effect at high pressure.
  • Also it removes the oxygen which is necessary for combustion process and thereby acts as the fire extinguisher.
  • As it doesn’t conduct electricity hence it is used as ideal fire suppressant in electrical instruments like computers also.
  • When it is used as fire extinguisher it doesn’t produces any harmful effects this is also the reason behind its use as fire extinguisher.
