"How To Make Water Burn, Don't Try This!"
wait what? you mean DON'T try it? oh well too late. So this is a video about... well... water being set on fire so I was thinking "is this possible? lots of comments disagree" and here I am with an experiment done exactly the same way in the video to prove once and for all if u can actually set fire to plain old water. You'll be surprised by the results!

  • water can burn just put fluorine. fluorine can burn water....

  • Flourine? Flourine doesn't... react with water.... I think you're thinking of the opposite end of the elemental table: Sodium. Anyhoo, the point was to debunk a certain specific method not exhaust all methods and plus, that would be burning something with water not burning water itself.

  • thx for wasting my time

  • You're welcome.

  • no water can burn i am tested it

  • @crazybilby flourine are special. It's the most reactive element on earth. It react with pretty much everything, not except water. but sadly flourine are hardly exists at a pure element itself.

  • Everything burns, everything has a kindling temperature.

    But for some substances this is rather useless because of barriers, such as the kindling temperature being higher than nuclear fusion.

  • @crazybilby

    You're wrong, of course fluorine does react with water - fluorine has higher electronegativity than oxygen, so it can displace it in a molecule. It is accompanied with "some" heat released too.

  • @Danielst16 I was unaware that being right made one a spoiled brat.
