As I was learning a bit of Chemistry today, I learnt that things can burn in water. H20 or commonly known as water, is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. Things can only burn in the presence of oxygen, and oxygen helps things to burn, whereas hydrogen burns even if it reacts with air. If hydrogen reacts with air, it is reacting with oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen form water. Water is only formed if the ratio of mixing of both the objects is proper.
It’s wonderful how the water we drink and use daily, in such large quantities, can also cause fires, which is the exact opposite of water.
