Oxygen-less Water???
Oxygen-less Water???
(OP)
Here's a clip from an AP article today that struck me funny:
Oxygen-less water... Er, sounds like another term for diatomic hydrogen to me

Quote (RichardLewis):
Scientists were especially interested in this site, dubbed "Shipwreck D," because the Black Sea's unique, oxygen-less water leaves everything on the bottom mostly intact.

"gaseous hydrogen. At room temperature (above -253°C or 20 K, to be exact) hydrogen is gaseous independent of the pressure."

As an aside, if it were not for the extraordinary behaviour of water in cold climates, ie, forming an insulating layer of floating ice, the coldest water would be at the bottom and lakes would freeze from the bottom up destroying most aquatic life.
TheTick is right, how far can one be adrift and away from the thread's original leitmotiv ?

Reposting facts without any editorial commentary:
•The lack of oxygen refers to the amount of dissolved gaseous oxygen, no the oxygen that is part of the H2O molecule.
•H2 can not exist as a liquid under the conditions found at the bottom of the Black Sea.
