Oxyhydrogen Gas
a mixture of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. When ignited, oxyhydrogen gas explodes violently; it burns more slowly in the presence of porous platinum. The reaction 2H2 + 02 = 2H20 + 572.5 kilojoules (136.74 kcal) permits the attainment of high temperatures (about 2800° C). For this reason the flame of oxyhydrogen gas is used to melt quartz and platinum, as well as for gas welding and cutting metals. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
