If you gently shake a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher, you will feel the presence of liquid within the extinguisher what conditions within the extinguisher mean that the co, is liquid in this case?

When we wish to convert a gas to liquid we have to either

a) decrease temperature

b) increase pressure

In case of fire extinguisher the CO2 is found to be in liquid state, this is as the CO2 is pressurized at high pressure which keeps CO2 in liquid state

the ideal pressure and temperature conditions when CO2 gas can be converted to CO2 gas

Pressure = 5 - 73 atm

Temperature = -57  to 31 degree Celsius

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
