Decoding

We know that matter can't be created or destroyed...so what has to happen in our model to "hatch" new water molecules like in this code?

• the source of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms needs to be "deleted" or "die" somewhere else in the code

• nothing--this model just keeps adding water to the reaction
