 3. Making a fire extinguisher
A simple fire extinguisher can be made in laboratory by using chemical reactions which produce
CO2.

Students plan an experiment to find which reaction is more suitable to make a fire extinguisher.
They measured the amount of CO2 produced during four chemical reactions.
