If water consists of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen why does it not explode?

Water does not ordinarily burn because of the massive amount of energy required to break the chemical bond between Hydrogen and Oxygen. If enough heat is added to break apart this bond, then the Hydrogen will burn.

∙ 14y agoThe simple answer is because it is already burned up. The hydrogen and oxygen in water does not burn nor explode for the same reasons that "ashes" which are made of fuel and oxygen does not burn, it is already all burned up. ( or completely oxidized)

When two hydrogen atoms bond with two oxygen atom?
The chemical symbol for hudrogen is H. 2 parts of it is H2. With oxygen, Its H2o, or water.
What is the chemical that most cell parts are made of?
if u are asking about the living cells most cell parts are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen with few other elements. the carbon and hydrogen mainly combine to form carbohydrates and fats while carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen join to form proteins. Carbohydrates , fats & proteins form most parts of the cells....
Is carbohydrate compound or element?
It's a compound--one part carbon, one part oxygen, two parts hydrogen, such as C6H12O6. A simple alcohol is not a carbohydrate, even though it contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, because the ratios are all wrong. Look at ethanol. It consists of ethane, a hydrocarbon with the formula C2H6, with one hydrogen atom replaced by a hydroxyl group--an OH--making the formula for ethanol C2H5OH.
Which of these is a compound oxygen hydrogen nitrogen water?
The answer is water. Water consists of two parts of Hydrogen and one part of Oxigen.
What is the chemcial equation for water?
H2O. This means that water chemically consists of 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen.
How many parts of oxygen are in hydrogen peroxide?
The chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, that is, two parts oxygen for every two parts hydrogen.
When you mix hydrogen with oxygen what happens i heard that it creates water and it also blows up how is this possible?
Water is H2O which means it is made of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atom. Hydrogen is fairly volatile and flammable and oxygen is a gas that that supports burning (it will relight a glowing splint). If you have H2O2 (equal parts hydrogen and oxygen) it is very easy to catch on fire and explode.
Is hydrogen made up oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Oxygenated blood contains blood cells as well as freshly cleaned blood containing oxygen. This blood is typically red in color.
What are the two elements inside H2O?
Hydrogen and oxygen. It is 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen.
What are parts of glycerol?
Hydrogen, Carbon, and Oxygen.
Can you make water from hydrogen?
add oxygen H2O= hydrogen and 2 parts oxygen makes............TADA water!!
How does oxygen get into a river?
The molecular structure of water is H2 0. That is there are two parts Hydrogen to one of Oxygen. Water is made up of hydrogen & Oxygen.
What is the composition of water?
Water (H2O)Water is composed of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. We know this because hydrogen (H) has a 2 after it, meaning there are two parts hydrogen in the substance. Then after the hydrogen symbols, we see oxygen (O) without any numbers after it - meaning there is only one part oxygen in the mix.H2O - 2 x Hydrogen and 1 x Oxygen
What 2 chemicals do you mix to make water?
If you could, then you mix hydrogen and oxygen. Water is H2O, which is hydrogen 2 parts oxygen. Have fun!
What does hydrogen mean?
Hydrogen is a type of gas. Hydrogen is part of water, which is two parts hydrogyn and one part oxygen.
