why is water inflameable even thoug it has hydrogen and oxgen?

Water is already oxidized hydrogen so it is the result of hydrogen already having been "burned".

Depends on the acid.  Fuming sulfuric acid, for example, actually forms such a strong hydration with water that it will yank out oxygen and hydrogen from your hydrocarbon based tissue, leaving carbon, which looks like a 3rd degree burn.

First, the proportion of water molecules are much, much greater than the oxygen present.\n\nSecond, the oxygen present in water are solvated. They are trapped, in their ion form, within 'cages' of water molecules. Thus water does not support combustion.\n\nAH..I thought you were referring to dissolved Oxygen instead of Oxygen atoms present in water molecules. -_- In water molecules, as mentioned above, the oxygen atoms is strongly bonded by covalent bonds to the Hydrogen atoms. As such, even when heated, water will only undergo a change of phase. Properties of a compound is different from its constituting elements.

You get Mg2O2 (magnesium peroxide) and water H2O.

errrrrrr Oxygen, hence rusting is stricly called oxidisation.  But perhaps you should inform your questioner that Water is actually made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen, therefore some of the answers are obsolete.\n\nThink about the fact that metalwork inside a waterproofed building goes rusty as well as that outside.

trying to be a smart ass huh? well if you are not then here is the answer.\n\n"FREE" hydrogen and "FREE" oxygen mixed together is highly explosive, however a Hydrogen Oxygen "COMPOUND"(water) is not.

H2O is water, no matter how pure it is, it is still water therefore you drink it, for more go \nhttp://www.pureh20biotech.com/

if the water is at very very low pressure it can become gaseous.\n\nSee also - the triple point of water

Yes 1 is correct. Oxygen and Hydrogen have very strong bonds. Also known as hydrogen bonding. That's why water, for example, has such a high surface tension. You are correct!

Cars powered by ordinary water...Time will come (most likely in the very near future) where water can be separated into its components economically. Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is a very good fuel (sun's energy comes from hydrogen) and oxygen is needed for efficient combustion...The problem is, the bond between hydrogen and oxygen is so strong that it is still expensive to separate them as of now...Car makers though have started experimenting with cars powered by hydrogen but using fuel cells...Still an expensive proposition.

No, but hydrogen is not free roaming in the Earth, it's tied to oxygen (water)

Hydrogen and oxygen, when combined in an appropriate mixture, will burn to form water.  By itself neither pure hydrogen nor pure oxygen will burn (they need an oxidizer and a reductant respectively).  Water is a stable chemical component that does not have the volatile characteristics of the elements that make up its composition (hydrogen and oxygen).

Dihydrogen monoxide means two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.  So, the compound is H20, or water, and there is no danger as such by water, but by the modification of its physical and chemical properties.

Hydrogens in water have a small positive charge, and oxygen molecules have a small negative charge...this is due to the higher electronegativity of oxygen compared to hydrogen...\n\nThis results in attraction of the positive and negative charges of different water molecules, resulting in what is called hydrogen bonds

I think the water is the end result of a chemical reaction. Water is not combustible, and never will be. It is a life giving force, unlike fire. I found out that bleach and this other cleaning liquid turn into nerve gas when mixed together. I don't have a good explaination for why this happens. It just does.

Sodium and Potassium are correct.  They are extremely reactive with water, forming Hydroxides and releasing Hydrogen gas, which is usually ignited from the exothermic heat of the reaction.\n\n2 Na + 2 H2O -> 2 NaOH + H2\n\n2 K + 2H2O -> 2 KOH + H2

Simplest example: water, H2O is a liquid, non-flammable, compound made from hydrogen, H2 and oxygen, O2, which are both gasses and very reactive. \n\nAnother: iron, Fe, is a shiny strong metal, while rust FeO2 is a red-brown fragile dust.
