here is a thinker for you...

so while having no life and being up at 3am i thought up this.... if water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and hydrogen and pure oxygen are extremely flammable...... then why is water not flammable?

I would think its because the oxygen is no longer pure since its been tainted by the hydrogen.

 

yes but wouldnt the hydrogen still be flammable?

 

hmm does the hydrogen have to be pure to be flammable as well, it might the case that since these 2 elements while potent on their own are tame together? Kind of like Jaguar and Ford, potent apart and tame together

 

hydrogen does not have to be pure to burn

 

hmm I have no idea.

 

it makes no sence

 

The chemical reaction when Hydrogen an oxygen combine makes it non flammable.

Or some bs like that

 

Because it's wet!

 

That's what she said. Haha



That really is mind boggling though.

 

water does not burn becuase its already burnt. Oxides are already "burnt" and therefor can not be burnt again.

You cant burn fire now can you

 

Clinton can. Haha

 

geez op, you should have payed attention in science class

 

Pooleo, you hit the head on the nail...I was waiting for these guys to come up with it on their own...

 

Fat chance that would have happened. We got the special olympics in this thread lol jk I don't really remember that from my chem class

 

lol!

 

i did pay attention in class, never talked about it in class, and yes pete we have the special league over here

 

lol

 

pete its only me and you make up the special league

 

Eh, true. I'm dopey and you're slapnuts. So yeah. I guess Clinton makes that up. But back on topic. Haha
