    Chemical properties are significant in distinguishing substances like water and cooking oil because they determine how the substances interact with each other and their environment. For example, water’s ability to extinguish fire contrasts with cooking oil’s inflammability, highlighting their distinct chemical compositions and behaviors in different situations.

  2. Oil burns in air because it undergoes combustion, reacting with oxygen to produce heat and light. In contrast, water extinguishes fire by cooling the fuel and removing heat, and by smothering the flames, preventing oxygen from reaching the combustion reaction, thus halting the fire.

  3. Water and cooking oil differ in odor, inflammability, and behavior towards fire. Water is odorless, non-flammable, and extinguishes fire, while cooking oil has a distinct odor, is flammable, and can fuel fire. These distinctions arise from their unique chemical compositions.
