WATER

1. Water is a chemical compound of oxygen and hydrogen, the latter gas forming two thirds of its volume. It is the most abundant of all chemical compounds, five seventh of the earth's surface being covered with water.

2. As we know, water does not burn, on the contrary, it is generally used for putting out the fire. Therefore it seems remarkable that the two gases which it is composed of act in the opposite way: one of them – hydrogen – burns, the second – oxygen – making things burn much faster than does air. Hydrogen is the lightest gas known, oxygen being slightly heavier than air.

3. Water is one of the most incompressible substances known, the properties of a compound being unlike the properties of the elements of which it is made. By means of hydraulic accumulators water can be subjected to a tre­mendous pressure without appreciably reducing its volume. But in spite of its resistance to compression, it has been calculated that at ocean depths water is compressed to such an extent that the average sea level is 35.6 metres lower than it would be if water were absolutely incompressible.

4. Water like air is never found quite pure in nature but contains various salts and minerals in solution. Salt water being heavier, some things will float in it which would sink in fresh water, hence it is easier to swim in salt water. When sea water freezes the salt separates from it, ice being quite pure.
