Oxygen

Water

Heat

1 answer

Based on the information provided, rocket fuel is made of:

  • Hydrogen
  • Oxygen

These two elements react chemically when heat is added to produce water. While heat is necessary for the reaction to occur, it is not a component of the rocket fuel itself. Water is a product of the reaction, not a reactant.
