can someone explain the science behind why getting fire wet puts it out?
In: Chemistry
Fire need air. Water block air, so no more fire. Kinda like you. You need air, water block air, then no more you.
I’m just gonna try and pad the rest of this with bs so I dont get auto-modded, but there’s really not much else to say. The mechanism is painfully straight forward. Not much science to talk about.
EDIT: though there’s other fuel sources besides air, but still, the physical mechanism is the same. Block the fuel, kill the fire. Water simply blocks the air in a conventional air fueled fire. Do not pour water on electrical or grease fires, those need something else to block their fuel source
