    They turn into a molecular gas.

    You also now have a considerable amount of elemental hydrogen and oxygen floating around, so if there was a spark you’d get small explosion.

      Small…? That’s a lot of H2O that got separated and would really like to turn back into its more stable form.

      Now that I think about it, we made an awful lot of gas from what was liquid a second ago, we’re going to get an explosion from the gas expansion no matter what we do. I think it’ll be pretty damn big though. The expanding gas is going to cool very rapidly due to whichever gas law that was too, so it’d be like a really cold explosion I suppose.
