Water does not burn. When a fuel burns it is oxidized. Since water is H2O, it means that it is already oxidized so it cannot burn as fuel.

Why does water put out burning wood?

The burning wood needs heat and oxygen as fuel. When burning wood has heat it has energy and water can quickly deprive the wood of its energy. When water comes in contact with the burning wood it takes the heat and the water turns into water vapor, a gas. The gas rises, and therefore, the heat is quickly taken from the burning wood. This is all due to water having a low boiling point. Imagine pouring water on the burning wood. Steam and smoke is produced, which is the water taking the heat into the sky, extinguishing the fire.

Why burning by steam is more powerful than burning by boiling water?

Liquid water at the boiling point needs to lose about 63 calories per gram to reach body temperature. Water vapor at the boiling point needs to lose over 600 calories per gram to reach body temperature. And that's not even taking into account that it's possible for water vapor to be over 373 K.


Why Water is poured to extinguish burning wood?

Water is poured on burning wood to extinguish the fire because water absorbs heat, cools the wood below its ignition point, and also deprives the fire of oxygen by creating steam that smothers the flames. This combination helps to effectively put out the fire.

Which would burn the most 100g of water at 100 degrees or 100g of steam at 100 degrees?

Burning 100g of water at 100 degrees would release more energy than burning 100g of steam at 100 degrees, as water at a higher temperature has more thermal energy to be released. Burning water at 100 degrees would first need to raise its temperature to its boiling point before converting it into steam.
