$\begingroup$ The choice of moist rather than dry hydrogen seems to be driven by some external circumstances of which we have no idea. Dry hydrogen would react just as well. $\endgroup$ – Ivan Neretin Dec 27 '17 at 14:37

$\begingroup$ The reaction is explosive in direct sunlight. Water acts as a catalyst. $\endgroup$ – MaxW Dec 27 '17 at 16:36

H2O has h ions so it adds more + ions so that the cl- gets reacted faster towards the H+ ions so water is a catalysts or booster I hope u understnd
