Fire is extinguished more effectively by
- ✓Hot water
- BCold water
- CEqually by both
- DIce
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Hot water
a
(a) Fire is extinguished by the vaporisation do water which lowers the temperature of the burning body. Further, the water vapour envelops the body, keeping oxygen away. Hot water evaporates more than cold water as
