How to make a CO2 Fire Extinguisher
What you will need:
1 ice cream container
1 tea light
1 small candle
1 large candle
Vinegar
Baking Soda
What to do:
1. Place the 2 candles and the tea light in the ice cream container using blue tak.
2. Pour enough vinegar to make a 1cm deep pool in the ice cream container.
3. Light the candles.
4. Sprinkle 1 tsp worth of baking soda into the vinegar and stir.
What should happen:
When the vinegar and baking soda has been stirred the candles should go out after about 5 secs-20 secs.
This is because the baking soda and vinegar are creating CO2 getting rid of the oxygen (fire needs oxygen to burn) and smothering the flame.
