Answer:

It works by separating the fuel from the oxygen. The oxygen comes from the air. It is the same oxygen we breathe. Since the oxygen has to be in contact with the fuel, if you can coat the fuel with something that keeps the oxygen away, the fire will go out which is what the fire extinguisher does.

How many grams of glucose (C6H12O6) can be formed from 22 grams of CO2?
Shkiper50 [21]
The catabolism of glucose has an equation of C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 +6 H20. Hence for every mole of glucose, 6 moles of CO2 is produced. Given 22 grams of CO2, that is 0.5 mol CO2, we multiply this by 1/6, we get the number of moles of glucose equal to 1/12 mol. The mass of glucose needed is obtained by multiplying this by molar mass of glucose which is 180 g/mol. This is equivalent 15 grams of glucose.
