== About == 
[[Volatiles]] is a type of gas that can be used in combination with [[Oxygen]] as a combustible [[Fuel]]. The main source of Volatiles on most planets is in the form of [[Ice (Volatiles)]] that can be mined on the surface. It is the breathing gas of the Zrillian species. Although not explicitly stated in game, the name [[Volatiles]] is likely Hydrogen, as it's shown as H2 in the [[Handheld_Tablet]|Handheld Tablet's] Atmospheric Scanner [[Cartridge]], and melting [[Ice_(Volatiles)|Ice (Volatiles)]] releases H2 moles.

== Usage == 
Different ratios of Volatiles and Oxygen will produce different temperatures and pressures during combustion. Combustion will create a large amount of Heat, pressure, and [[Carbon Dioxide]]. This reaction is useful inside a [[Furnace]] for smelting ores and creating alloys, but can be catastrophic when inside a [[Canister]] or a room.
Currently as of version v0.1.1089.5513, it is labeled in the atmospheric analyzer as H2, but it is not Hydrogen.<ref>Stationeer's Discord https://discordapp.com/channels/276525882049429515/392785541411635201/393216103284998144</ref>. When burned, it produces heat, [[Pollutant]]s, and [[Carbon Dioxide]] in the following reaction:

2 [Volatiles] + 1 O2 → 3 X + 6 CO2 + Heat

This reaction is inconsistent with volatiles being simple hydrocarbons (too much CO2 is produced), but it may be consistent with more complex organic molecules. The reaction appears to only take place with specific quantities of gas, so Oxygen is often left over even when there is an excess of volatiles.

Volatiles have a specific heat of 20.4 Joule / mol.

==Sources== 
You can collect Oxygen from the following sources:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Source !! Amount
|-
| [[Ice_(Volatiles)|Ice (Volatiles)]] || 22 mol
|}

Can be also obtainable by [[trading]].

== Notes == 
* Seems that a concentration of H2 greater than 6% in an atmosphere it is lethal to plants, keep attention on that designing a greenhouse, because [[Kit (Advanced Composter)|Advanced Composter]] will release H2 during the process.
