Why the hydrogen needed to make water is dry

Hey

Why the hydrogen needed to make water is dry?

What's an amine ?

As to your first question, I think you'd have to make it clearer, seems vague to me, not sure what you want to ask.

As for you second question, an amine is a nitrogen containing compound with general formula, NR3 where R is alkyl group. NR3 is a tertiary amine.

However, NHR2, and NH2R is also amine. They are the secondary and primary amine respectively. NH3 is not an amine, it doesn't have any R group.

What's worng if If use moisted hydrgen To make water :

The eq.
2h2+o2________2h2o

I'm not sure that it'd matter to be honest. I can conceive of two ways of carrying out that reaction, one of which most people here will have seen.

The exploding hydrogen balloon is simply that reaction, and doesn't require dry hydrogen. As you may have noticed it's a highly exothermic reaction, and proceeds readily (explosively, you might say) even in a humid atmosphere. It has a huge equilibrium constant - ever seen water spontaneously split into its constituent gases? (Most would consider it not to be in equilibrium at all)

I don't see why the second method would ever, ever be used, but you could potentially make water from oxygen and hydrogen in a controlled fashion, perhaps at a metal surface. This would probably be more sensitive to moisture, but given the huge equilibrium constant the presence of some water isn't going to affect yield too drastically.

Perhaps if the OP provides some context to the question it'd help us answer.
