Explanation:
Because it burns in the presence of oxygen. It forms water.
2H2 + O2 = 2H2O
Be careful not to confuse the American and "Rest of the World" use of the word "inflammable".
In the US, inflammable means "not flammable" and therefore will not burn.
In the rest of the World inflammable means capable of being inflamed (i.e. Will burn!)
