Carbon dioxide is a liquid in a fire extinguisher because it is kept under high pressure inside the extinguisher. This high pressure compresses the gas molecules together, causing them to condense into a liquid form at room temperature. When the fire extinguisher is activated, the liquid carbon dioxide is released as a gas, which helps smother the fire by displacing oxygen around it.
