Water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, which do not contain the necessary elements to sustain a chemical reaction that produces fire. Additionally, water has a high heat capacity, which means that it can absorb a significant amount of heat before reaching its boiling point and turning into steam.
No, water itself cannot catch fire because it is a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen. However, the hydrogen in water can be ignited and burn if it is separated from the oxygen.
No, you cannot burn water. Water is a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen, and it does not catch fire.
"Catch fire" means to start burning, while "catch on fire" means to become engulfed in flames. The phrase "catch on fire" is more intense and implies a more significant amount of fire compared to just "catch fire."
Yes, sodium is highly reactive with water and it can catch fire when coming into contact with it. This is due to the vigorous reaction that occurs, producing hydrogen gas and heat, which ignites the sodium.
No, it is not possible to burn water. Water is a compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen, and it cannot catch fire or burn.
