The carbon dioxide fire extinguisher
The carbon dioxide fire extinguisher

Description

In this experiment the students will make a carbon dioxide foam fire extinguisher. To do this, hydrochloric acid is added to a solution of sodium carbonate and washing-up liquid and the resulting extinguishing foam is put on a wax fire (burning tea light). The students recognise how a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher works and also learn about the properties of a fire.
