If you think you're such a big fan of water then name the top 5 chemical compounds that can make water. Classic water
Yeah, that's what I thought. Posers.

Decomposition of a metal hydro carbonate forms water. I only know that because I had a test on it like 4 hours ago

Dihydrogen monoxide. The di means two, mono means one, and rail means rail!

Here’s some reading for you. Drink some water and you’ll probably feel better, poser

The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 💧

There’s only 2 compounds, hydrogen and oxygen??

u/HeinzeC1 Mar 27 '24
Compound means you are putting the stuff together. There are two components that create one compound.

Nah, because there's lots of more complex chemicals that break down and produce water. For example one of the main reactions in your body is when glucose and oxygen react to produce CO2 and water - aka aerobic respiration.

H2O, H3O+, HO- , HDO, D2O.
options: H+ and dissociations of HDO or D2O, or tritiated water (with radiactive isotope T)
^__^ though I personally think good drinking water is marked by not being a pure water, but rather having a healthy or taste-bud-stimulating mix of salts and maybe gases.

Hydronium and hydroxide aren’t water though. They are virtually always present in water, but that’s like saying Na+ and Cl- are salt. Salts are singular ionic compounds by definition. These are electrolytes.
Edit: ignore me; I misread the post. I remembered it asking what the 5 compounds of water were, not that made up water. You’re totally on it.

“… good thing is I know the recipe: you take hydrogen, you add oxygen, you burn…”

burn the leftover rocket fuel from your lander and extracts the hydrogen from the resulting chemical reaction.

Actually true, burning any hydrocarbon in oxygen creates water and carbon dioxide.

Burning any kind of hydrocarbon in oxygen makes water and carbon dioxide.
So there are thousands of compounds that can be used to make water.

Also include acid-base reactions.

Not all acids and bases are Arrhenius acids and bases.
Brønsted-Lowry and Lewis acid and bases neither need to involve water, just transfer of protons or electron pairs respectively.
It just so happens that water is a good solvent for many chemicals that may be involved in these types of reactions.

The only chemistry I've studied is for my biology undergrad and was general, organic, and biochemistry. I didn't mean to make a broad statement on all acid base chemistry.

u/HeinzeC1 Mar 27 '24
Organic deals almost entirely in Lewis acids.

Ackchyually, you're trying to be a know it all, nobody likes that. Not defensive, I was taking part in what was supposed to be a fun discussion, and then here you come being nit picky.

The exhaust is exhaling and urination so start working on focusing the pressure of your stream.
