Which outcome occurred when early tests of Greek Fire employed impure naphtha?

💡 Explanation

Impurities altered the substance's flammability, affecting its viscosity due to non-uniform fractional distillation; the liquid stream shattered from Rayleigh instability because the low-quality mixing of oil boiling points changed therefore viscosity control failed rather than resulting in spontaneous detonation.
