🔍 Key Concepts

• Characteristics and typical uses of dry chemical fire extinguishers • Characteristics and typical uses of carbon dioxide (CO₂) fire extinguishers • How range, cleanliness, and corrosiveness differ between extinguisher types

💭 Think About

• Think about which extinguisher type is usually preferred around sensitive electronics or clean rooms and why. • Consider which agent (dry powder vs. gas) can be effectively directed at a fire from farther away. • Ask yourself whether a powder-based agent is more or less likely to leave residue or cause corrosion compared to CO₂ gas.

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare the effective discharge distance for dry chemical vs. CO₂ units of similar size. • Consider which agent leaves residue after use, and whether that residue can be corrosive. • Eliminate any option where one of the listed properties clearly does NOT match typical dry chemical performance.
