H2O and o2 reaction
Accepted Answer
The reaction between H2O (water) and O2 (oxygen) is not a typical chemical reaction. Water is already fully oxidized, meaning it cannot be further oxidized by oxygen. However, under extreme conditions, like very high temperatures and the presence of a catalyst, water can decompose into hydrogen and oxygen. This process is called electrolysis.
