Water does not catch on fire, if that's what you're asking. If heated a sample of water will rise in temperature until it hits 100ÂșC, when it boils. Boiling is the process of liquid water turning into it's gas form, water vapor, and is the same thing as evaporation.

Just evaporate

No. "Burning" is what happens when some chemical is combined with oxygen in a reaction that typically lets off a lot of heat and flame and smoke and stuff.
Water won't combine with oxygen. Mainly because water is in fact what you get when you burn hydrogen. It is the "ash" of that combustion if you want. You can split water into hydrogen and oxygen and then burn the hydrogen again, to make more water, but water itself can't be burned. Not if you're talking about the usual reaction that burning refers to. -
That would be defeating nature if water could burn, but no it evaporates.

No, you can't burn water. If fire touches water, it just goes out. It just evaporates.

At 212 F at sea level (one atmosphere of pressure), water turns to steam and floats away. Believe it or not, an open pan of water at sea level will not get hotter than 212 F, even on high heat. The pot can get hotter than 212F But, as soon as the water hits 212 F, it flashes to steam. If you have an infrared thermometer, you can prove it. Bring a pot of water to a boil on high heat and check the temperature of the surface of the water. It will be right at or just below 212 F.

it just evaporates but if you microwave distilled water it wont boil get it past the boiling Point (100 degrees Metric) than drop Sugar in it it will rapidly expand like a explosion (do not try this at home)

However, if you subjected a volume of water to a stream of plasma (super-hot ionized gas) you might be able to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen molecules, reignite them exiting from a tube where the two gasses will recombine into water again. -

Zoey. Why do firemen spray water onto a fire? Do you think it would help to burn the place a bit quicker? I can't believe somebody would ask such a dumb question.

It just scalds the bottom and starts stinking.
