Question
why is it that water comprising two highly inflamable gases can not burn?
1. Oxygen is NOT inflammable.
2. Water is the result of complete combustion (adding of oxygen) of a fuel (H2). Products of complete combustion can have no more O2 added to them and so are nonflammable. No more oxygen can be added to form more stable compounds.
