Question:

How serious is it to accidentally set off a fire alarm?

I inherited a classroom with filthy, cockroach-ridden back rooms. I didn't want my students to suffer from disgusting cockroaches this coming Fall, and I've spent much of my free time cleaning up these rooms - some abandoned since the 1990's.On a Friday at 5:00, I started a cockroach fogger in the room. It set off the school fire alarm. I had no way of knowing this would happen, until it happened. The administrator in charge said that it is my fault and he filed a report to Police as well as the school district. I am frightened about what will happen to me, and my career.

Answer:

Water isn't a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen, it is a compound produced from oxygen and hydrogen. throughout a combustion of hydrogen the hydrogen atoms are oxidised whilst the oxygen atoms in turn are decreased. The made from this reaction is water. The bonds formed in a water molecule are stable so it ought to no longer react extra. for this reason water ought to no longer combust.

Water is a chemical that has, as you stated, hydrogen and oxygen molecules. However, the hydrogen and oxygen molecules in water molecules, H20, are held tighty together by hydrogen bonds. This type of bond is extremely strong and it takes about 21 kJ/mole (about 378 kilojoules per gram of water) to break that bond. That kind of energy cannot be supplied by a normal house fire, or any kind of fire for that fact. The only way to break water down into oxygen and hydrogen is by something called electrolysis, which requires electricity to be run through water.
