One would not think that applying a substance that was two-thirds hydrogen (great fuel) and one-third oxygen (oxidizer) to a fire would be helpful either, and yet somehow it is! Hold it. The percent of the weight of the atoms in a molecule has nothing to do with the chemical properties of the molecule. These atoms are bound together. It is not a simple mixture. Another example: Salt is sodium and chlorine, but does not have the properties of either. Come on! I know that, and I'm sure Larry does too. We're just having a litle merriment. vince norris
