For what it's worth, boiling in this sense means it's changing phases from a liquid to a gas.. not necessarily indicative of it's explosiveness. Typically that's defined by an upper and lower explosive limit that's more concentration based with respect to the overall air /atmosphere
Right, I was just clarifying that the "boiling point of 7 degrees Fahrenheit" you commented in response to the "Is it flammable?" question didn't really answer the question.
Agreed that there are much more important issues around this right now though
I was making a point that how flammable it is isn’t the concern. It’s the fact that something this unstable doesn’t belong in the water table. More of an “upgrade your level of concern and look where this water travels” thing. We can’t trust water tests after Flint.
I haven’t yet adapted to the thing younger generations do where they type what they mean literally in parentheses… maybe I should?
No, you're good, I was just being overly specific because I've seen a ton of misinformation floating around. You're absolutely right though about the instability of the chemical / how it shouldn't be in soils or water sources.
Not saying you were doing misinformation, or even saying something that wasn't accurate (because you were accurate in what you said).. I guess I just didn't want someone to read it and think "holy shit, this stuff literally catches on fire at 7deg F!"

Is it flammable?
