Spock sat at his station, going over the chemical equation and the exothermic reaction that would take place once the nitrogen made contact with the lava. He wondered what the effects of the reaction would be. A surplus of dihydrogen monoxide was definite. Which meant that a great deal of vaporized water would be lifted from the surface. If that upper parts of the Serdapian atmosphere were cool enough, it would rain or perhaps even thunderstorm. This could cause dangers flight circumstances, they must be prepared to beam back on board the Enterprise in the event that the weather became too hostile to leave aboard the shuttle.
