Does fire make water?

In complete combustion, the burning fuel will produce only water and carbon dioxide (no smoke or other products). The flame is typically blue. In complete combustion, the burning fuel will produce only water and carbon dioxide (no smoke or other products).

Does fire produce water vapor?

When hydrogen bonds with oxygen, it produces water vapor — even as the wood burns. Fires burn only when all that atomic shuffling releases enough energy to keep the oxidation going in a sustained chain reaction.

Why does water put out fire?

Water cools and smothers the fire at the same time. It cools it so much that it can't burn anymore, and it smothers it so that it can't make any more of the oxygen in the air explode. You can also put out a fire by smothering it with dirt, sand, or any other covering that cuts the fire off from its oxygen source.

Can fire burn water?

Because water cannot burn, fires cannot burn from within water, there is no ready supply of oxygen in a bucket of water (though, of course, there is oxygen in the air above the water) and thus, the water extinguishes the fire.

What happens when fire and water mix?

Water and fire are mutually destructive—water will extinguish a flame, just as fire will boil water away to nothing. The cold, dark sheen of the rivers temper the exuberance of the fires while the bright dancing flames enliven the quiet surface of the water.

Making Fire From Water - Futuris



What does a fire produce?

Fire is a chemical reaction that converts a fuel and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water. It is an exothermic reaction, in other words, one that produces heat.

Does smoke contain water?

Smoke is made up small particles, gases and water vapor. Water vapor makes up the majority of smoke. The remainder includes carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, irritant volatile organic compounds, air toxics and very small particles.

How is water made?

Atoms join together to form molecules. A water molecule has three atoms: two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. That's why water is sometimes referred to as H2O. A single drop of water contains billions of water molecules.

Can water be created?

Yes, it is possible to make water. Water is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The process to combine hydrogen and oxygen is very dangerous though. Hydrogen is flammable and oxygen feeds flames, so the reaction to create water often results in an explosion.

Is water made out of pee?

Water makes up 91 to 96 percent of your urine. The rest is made from salts, ammonia, and byproducts produced during normal body processes.

Who invented water?

Who discovered the water? It was the chemist Henry Cavendish (1731 – 1810), who discovered the composition of water, when he experimented with hydrogen and oxygen and mixed these elements together to create an explosion (oxyhydrogen effect).

What is fire made of?

Most flames are made of hot gas, but some burn so hot they become plasma. The nature of a flame depends on what is being burnt. A candle flame will primarily be a mixture of hot gases (air and vaporised paraffin wax). The oxygen in the air reacts with the paraffin to produce heat, light and carbon dioxide.

What does smoke turn into?

Although smoke can contain hundreds of different chemicals and fumes, visible smoke is mostly carbon (soot), tar, oils and ash. Smoke occurs when there is incomplete combustion (not enough oxygen to burn the fuel completely). In complete combustion, everything is burned, producing just water and carbon dioxide.

Does fire give off steam?

Quite a lot of the smoke from a fire is actually steam. All the water in the plant gets evaporated by the heat of the flames, and goes up in the smoke as water vapour. Once the water is gone then the leaves and the stems of the plants burn, and turn into a gas called carbon dioxide.

What can fire not destroy?

Burning and other changes in matter do not destroy matter. The mass of matter is always the same before and after the changes occur. The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed.

What can fire not burn?

Wherever any substance is put in fire it burns and changes into ash. But asbestos is one such material that does not burn in fire. That is why the fireman wear clothes made from asbestos when they enter the burning house. In fact their clothes, shoes, gloves, helmets etc.

What is the hottest fire color?

While blue represents cooler colors to most, it is the opposite in fires, meaning they are the hottest flames. When all flame colors combine, the color is white-blue which is the hottest. Most fires are the result of a chemical reaction between a fuel and oxygen called combustion.

Is smoke a water vapor?

Smoke is a mix of gases (including carbon dioxide and water vapour) and tiny particles (called soot) produced by burning wood, leaves, dried plant material, coal, and liquid fuels such as diesel, kerosene or petrol.

Can there be fire without smoke?

Yes there are flames that don't produce smoke, but the reasons are complicated and depend on the conditions of the flame as well as the key fuel creating the flame. The obvious example of a smokeless flame is hydrogen.

Is fire a fluid?

Fire doesn't fall into liquid, because it doesn't have a fixed volume. Fire doesn't fall into solid, because it doesn't have a fixed shape. Thus, fire is currently considered a plasma.

Who created the first fire?

Claims for the earliest definitive evidence of control of fire by a member of Homo range from 1.7 to 2.0 million years ago (Mya). Evidence for the "microscopic traces of wood ash" as controlled use of fire by Homo erectus, beginning roughly 1 million years ago, has wide scholarly support.

Is the sun made of fire?

The Sun isn't "made of fire". It's made mostly of hydrogen and helium. Its heat and light come from nuclear fusion, a very different process that doesn't require oxygen. Ordinary fire is a chemical reaction; fusion merges hydrogen nuclei into helium, and produces much more energy.

Is Earth losing water?

Water flows endlessly between the ocean, atmosphere, and land. Earth's water is finite, meaning that the amount of water in, on, and above our planet does not increase or decrease.

How did Earth get its water?

Far from the Sun, where temperatures are low, water formed icy objects such as comets, while closer to the Sun water reacted with rocky materials to form hydrated minerals. It's thought that the mostly likely way that planet Earth inherited its water was from asteroids and comets crashing into it.
