    Put a flame over the water and see if you get an explosion afterwards. The molten salt may be hot enough and viscous enough it causes the H20 to break down into H and O. If that's the case, you'll see a fireball erupt.

    Interesting point, though; all the salts you used contained sodium. Only one exploded, and only one contained chlorine. I think that may be something noteworthy.
