Question

Which Carbon Compound is used as fire extinguisher?

• A. CS\(_2\)
• B. CHCl\(_3\)
• C. CH\(_3\)Cl
• D. CCl\(_4\)

Hint:

While CCl\(_4\) was once commonly used in fire extinguishers, it is no longer preferred due to its toxicity and environmental impact.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl\(_4\)) is used as a fire extinguisher, especially for certain types of fire (e.g., electrical fires). However, its use has declined due to its toxic and environmental effects.
Thus, the correct answer is (D) CCl\(_4\).
