-[[Volatiles]] or 'H2' is a combustible gas in the presence of Oxygen and the breathing gas of the [[Zrilian]] species. The main source of Volatiles on most planets is in the form of [[Ice (Volatiles)]] that can be mined on the surface. [[Volatiles]] will autoignite at 300 Celcius or above in the presence of [[Oxygen]], and autoignite at 50 Celcius or above in the presence of [[Nitrous Oxide]].

+'''Volatiles''' or '''H<sub>2</sub>''' is a combustible gas in the presence of Oxygen and the breathing gas of the [[Zrilian]] species. The main source of Volatiles on most planets is in the form of [[Ice (Volatiles)]] that can be mined on the surface. Volatiles will autoignite at 300 Celcius or above in the presence of [[Oxygen]], and autoignite at 50 Celcius or above in the presence of [[Nitrous Oxide]].
-Denoted with the name [[Volatiles|''Volatile'']], it is a homogenous compound made up of Hydrogen, Chlorine and Hydrocarbons. This means that it is poisonous due to the Chlorine, but also combustible due to the Hydrogen and Methane portions and can be turned into [[Water]] with [[Oxygen]] in a [[Kit (Atmospherics) H2 Combustor|H2 Combustor]] that has a self-contained catalyst which helps free the Hydrogen atoms.
 Possible compound: CH<sub>3</sub>Cl (Chloromethane)
-<!--[[Volatiles]] is a combustible gas, likely chloromethane or other chloride based organic compound, that can be used in combination with [[Oxygen]] as a [[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 the game commonly labels Volatiles as H2, a hydrogen pair molecule, the saved files list X gas as chlorine, meaning to produce carbon dioxide and chlorine, and water, as a byproducts, the compound must contain all three elements.-->

-<i>See also: [[Fuel]]</i>
+''See also: [[Fuel]]''
 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 H<sub>2</sub>, 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:
-[[Volatiles]] + 1 O<sub>2</sub> → 3 [[Pollutant|X]] + 6 [[Carbon Dioxide|CO<sub>2</sub>]] + 2×Enthalpy<sub>volatiles</sub> heat energy
+Volatiles + 1 O<sub>2</sub> → 3 [[Pollutant|X]] + 6 [[Carbon Dioxide|CO<sub>2</sub>]] + 2×Enthalpy<sub>volatiles</sub> heat energy

 Enthalpy of volatiles is 286000 Joules, this is per amount of Moles of matter.

 Volatiles have a specific heat of 20.4 Joule / mol.

+===Notes===
 * The Specific heat of 20  Joule / mol is in-between the specific heat of Hydrogen and Methane.
 * The actual Autoignition temperature of Chloromethane in Oxygen is 625 °C (1,157 °F; 898 K), the game grossly underestimated the iginition temperature by about 11 times.
