You have been asked to create a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. To complete this task, you will need to find a chemical reaction that produces the most carbon dioxide as possible in the shortest time possible, in the safest manner possible. The other criterion that you must meet is to make the fire extinguisher with everyday materials. This will help to lower the cost of the device. Luckily, you recall the reaction in which combining baking soda and vinegar produces carbon dioxide.

For your first trial with this reaction, you used cold
