BANG! You made Water!
Hydrogen and oxygen join together to make water. The new bonds release a lot of energy all at once, so it goes BANG!
The result
- What it makes
- Water
- Equation
- 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
- When it happens
- With a spark or a flame
Fun fact from Fizzy: Rockets like the Space Shuttle used hydrogen and oxygen as fuel. The exhaust was mostly steam!
🥽 Hydrogen gas can explode. Keep it far away from flames.
