ok..... has anyone touched on Dry Ice? And water can burn.... ok...... foood for thought...... just watched Discovery Channel about metors..... When the metor that caused the Ice Age fell into the ocean it caused the water to Vapor and scroch the earth...... in a matter of months the whole earth burned and then Caused the Ice Age...... where everthing just froze! Weird, huh? Well......... water can burn!! Soooooo says the DISCOVERY CHANNEL! ahhahahahhaa
I dont see how you got that water can burn from that information?? Being vaporised is not burning, if thats what you mean. Dry ice is soldid carbon dioxide and it sublimes.
Deadlywave is correct, and once and for all water can not burn. Ihoe, the water did not burn. It may have burnt the earth with the heat of vapourisation but the water its self did not burn it just turned to steam.
The burning already took place when the two hydrogen atoms combined with an oxygen atom. When the water molecule was formed, energy was released. The H2O molecule is stable and now requires an energy input to separate the water molecule into its component parts.
