Hot Water extinguishes more effectively than cold water as it has a higher specific heat capacity than cold water.
first you must understand that in order to burn a fire needs fuel, heat, oxygen, some sort of reaction. carbondioxide extinguishes fire by removing the oxygen from the equation which in turn stops the reaction, causes the heat to dissipate, and then all thats left is partially burned fuel.
Water extinguishes fire by cooling the burning material below its ignition temperature. It also helps to smother the fire by forming a barrier between the fuel and the oxygen in the air. Additionally, water can absorb heat and evaporate, which helps to remove energy from the fire.
An ordinary fire would not survive under water, for a common fire requires fuel, oxygen, and heat. under water there would be no oxygen available, and the heat would be conducted away too quickly. HOWEVER oxy-acetylene gas cutting can be done under water, for we carry our oxygen with us. And bulk magnesium will burn under water (incendary bombs).
Cold water helps to put out a fire by reducing the temperature of the fuel source below its ignition point, thereby extinguishing the flames. It also helps to create steam which displaces oxygen and suffocates the fire.
Yes, fire and water are often considered opposites. Fire is typically associated with heat, dryness, and destruction, while water is associated with cold, wetness, and creation. They represent opposing elements in many cultural and philosophical beliefs.
No, fire cannot be on water because water extinguishes fire.
Because water extinguishes fire
yes, fire evaporates water . But water in sufficient quantity extinguishes fire.
CarbonDioxide =]
A fire extinguisher cools down or extinguishes a fire. There are five types of fire extinguishers used in the US.

Not in elemental form. Hydrogen is highly flammable, so putting it in a fire extinguisher would be a very bad idea. Some fire extinguishes contain water, which is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen.
It extinguishes a paper fire by cooling...water is a cooling agent...fire is a product of heat...cool the heat=fire goes out.
Argon extinguishes fires by displacing oxygen in the air, which is essential for combustion. When released, argon forms a blanket over the fire, cutting off the oxygen supply and smothering the flames. This process effectively suffocates the fire, causing it to go out.
A firefighter extinguishes fire to keep people safe.
a bicarbonate of baking soda is Co2 Co2 displaces oxygen which is fuel for the fire no fuel no fire
