Question

which property of water helps in putting out fire ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mainly its ability to absorb large amounts of heat. It is much more efficient than other molecules, and a major way fire is extinguished by rapidly absorbing it's heat (thereby removing its ability to continue combustion). Water also has the extra benefit of being converted to steam, which displaces oxygen.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Essentially its huge heat of vaporization. Vaporizing, water steals heat from the combustion and brings the temperature under the ignition point of the burning substance. Moreover, the cloud of water vapour acts as a barrier between the fire and the atmosphere, depriving the fire of oxygen.
