I would suspect that some of the oxygen from the water is liberated occasionally.
- refurb 11y agoA quick google search didn't turn up anything, but I'd suspect that water spontaneously liberating oxygen is a very rare occurrence. Oxygen is in a high oxidation state and once reduced to water is quite stable. In order for oxygen to form from water, you'd need an oxidizer of considerable power (e.g. ozone?).
