Chapter 2, Problem 2Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the horn of the fire extinguisher becoming cold on use is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Fire extinguisher is a safety device used in laboratories to put out the fire hazard caused due to an accident. It contains carbon dioxide gas. The gas inside the cylinder is at high pressure relative to the surrounding pressure.
