Hyderogen is an explosive gas and Oxygen supports combustion yet when these are combined it becomes water which is used to put out fire.Isn't it surprising.

Are you talking about pure hydrogen? How do you combine the oxygen to the hydrogen? Water is cool, it has trace amount of each of the those things. Hydrogen 2 parts and Oxygen 1 part. Key balance. Too much hydrogen would be toxic, too much oxygen would make us loopy. Fire requires oxygen for its ability to consume the fuel which is wood or paper..which keeps it lit! Water is wet and so suffocates the fire. Do we agree? This is kinda amazing!!

Great points! What is more interesting too, is both are gases that can not be seen. They have no solid form. However, when you mix the correct measurement of the two forms, they create a liquid. Cool the liquid to 32 degree F...and you have a solid. Melt the solid or liquid form and it creates steam. The steam then dissipates into the air back into gas form. Very interesting! :) Do you agree!?
