Wrong explanation in video: oxygen from water[edit]

The video is instructive and gives good practical advice. However the supplied theoretical information is imo wrong: "The oxygen is drawn out of the water by the heat and the oil and you get a flare-up" the man says (@ 1.20). The reason for the boilover is not that by adding water more oxygen becomes available for burning. The effect is physical not chemical, as the article now correctly describes: water vapour expansion increases the surface of hot oil, which can thus burn more quickly, burning up with oxygen from the air. If the oil would "draw out" oxygen from water, hydrogen would remain. Such thermochemical water splitting exists but only at much higher temperatures >3600°F (>2000°C). And subsequently the hydrogen would burn in the fire up with air oxygen. 145.40.208.28 (talk) 21:27, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree. The easiest solution would be to let the video end after 1:15 min — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:C9:E713:6D00:1940:1AD2:D040:AF9B (talk) 15:36, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree. I am not sure how to edit the video, so I deleted it. But if you, or someone else, can cut it before the wrong statement, it can be reinstated. JudeFawley (talk) 08:06, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
