How can water remove the oxygen in a fire?

Water removes oxygen from a fire by suffocating it. When water is applied to a fire, it turns into steam, which displaces the oxygen around the fire. This reduction in oxygen levels prevents the fire from continuing to burn.


How does argon stop things burning at high temptures?

Argon displaces oxygen that is necessary for combustion. By flooding the environment with argon, the oxygen concentration is reduced, preventing the combustion process from occurring, which stops things from burning at high temperatures.


Why is there still smoke coming out a candle after it is gone out?

When a candle "goes out" the burning of the wax has stopped, but there is still some burning of the wick material. Typically this burning is less intense and less "clean" than the burning of the wax and gives off more smoke. Once the wick stops burning, there should not be any more smoke.


Why does a burning material is extinguished when stamped?

A fire requires three things to keep burning: fuel, oxygen, and heat. When you stomp on a fire, your foot momentarily excludes oxygen, stopping the burning. Since the burning stops for an instant, no heat is being released, allowing the fuel to cool. When you take your foot off, allowing the oxygen to return, by then it has cooled enough to prevent it from reigniting.


A glass of water is stirred and then allowed to stand until the water stops movingwhat has happened to the kinetic energy of the moving water?

The kinetic energy of the moving water has been transferred to other forms of energy, such as heat and sound, during the stirring process. Once the water stops moving, the kinetic energy has dissipated and the water is now in a state of equilibrium.
