With that said, I am puzzled about a couple of anomalies in creation. #1 As I understand it, everything expands with heat and contracts with cold. Why does water expand when it freezes instead of contracting?
When water freezes, its molecules get arranged in a crystalline structure, thereby attaining a defined shape. This crystalline structure is less dense, and since there are gaps between individual molecules in the structure, the overall volume increases and water ‘expands’.
With that said, I am puzzled about a couple of anomalies in creation. #2 Oxygen and Hydrogen are both extremely flammable, why is it when they are combined, H2O, they put out the fire?
The combustion of hydrogen and oxygen produces water (H2O) through a process known as oxidation. When hydrogen and oxygen react, they release energy in the form of heat, which causes the water vapor to expand rapidly, resulting in an explosion. This is the basic principle of all explosives. The reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat, and the resulting water is electrically neutral, making it non-flammable.
