How do you explode hydrogen without ignition?
Hydrogen can be made to explode in two different ways. The most usual way would be by combustion with oxygen, but that requires ignition. However, if you have liquid hydrogen you could make it explode by heating it, even in the absence of oxygen, in exactly the same way that water in a sealed container will explode if you heat it to the boiling point. Liquid hydrogen, of course, has a much lower boiling point than water does, and therefore would require less heating to make it explode. If it is not kept cooled, it will explode even at room temperature.
If oxygen is exposed to a glowing ember will it explode?
It should not explode. With what would the oxygen combust? About 20% of the air is oxygen. Oxygen does not readily combine with itself. However, if you put a spark into a cup of liquid hydrogen, I bet it would react rather violently. And there is a YouTube video of a fellow igniting charcoal with liquid oxygen. The oxygen does not explode, but the fire burns the charcoal really well. And the barbecue. And eventually the ground below the grill.
What is oxygen gas and hydrogen gas?
They are both diatomic gases. Hydrogen will explode in oxygen to produce water.
Can oxygen and grease explode?
Yes, it is possible and many accidents occured.
Does helium have an explosion?
Helium is a neutral gas and will not explode by itself or in the presence of Oxygen.
Does gasoline explode?
gasoline combined with air will explode, gasoline won't burn without air the fumes mixed with air will explode but the gasolin will burn
Why doesn't the gasoline explode when the car gas tank is full?
There is no reason for gasoline to explode in a tank. There is no heat or spark source in there. But the basic answer might be that there is little to no air (specifically oxygen) in the tank.
How does a car explode?
They can catch fire and burn up but they only explode in the movies. gasoline and a match
What is most likely made from a nonrenewable resource bread gasoline oxygen or oxygen?
gasoline
Is liquid oxygen gasoline?
No. Gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons. Liquid oxygen is oxygen that has been cooled to extremely low temperatures.
What happens if you go outer space without a spacesuit?
you will die due to lack of oxygen contrary to movies, you won't explode
Can E-85 gasoline be used in 2005 Chevy Silverado?
NO! it will explode
What do chemical reactints do when you burn gasoline?
Carbon from the gasoline combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Thehydrogen from the gasoline combines with oxygen to form water vapor.
Is it possible to have an explosion without oxygen?
Sure, e.g., liquid nitrogen will explode at room temperature if kept confined in a container such as a capped bottle.
What element allows gasoline to burn?
There are three things needed for fire. Fuel (gasoline), a spark and oxygen. So your answer is oxygen.
What explodes with oxygen and ignited?
Nothing can make oxygen explode! A faulty oxygen cylinder can explode, but that's not the fault of oxygen, any gas under pressure would cause a faulty cylinder to explode, but that happens without a spark or match! Oxygen is the stuff that supports combustion, that is, makes other things burn. And if it makes something burn really really quickly, that will look like an explosion. So if you mix oxygen and hydrogen together and add a spark there is an almighty bang - the hydrogen exploded! So if you smoke a cigarette in pure oxygen, the cigarette will have a very large flame - the cigarette will appear to explode! If you generate a spark in pure oxygen ALONE, you may detect a 'bleach' like smell which is ozone (oxygen is O2, ozone is O3). But there is no explosion! If the spark is a piece of hot metal (like off an emery wheel), the sparks will be brighter and 'die' quicker, but .... sorry .... no explosions! Summary and bottom line - oxygen does not burn, things put in oxygen burn. Oxygen does not explode, faulty oxygen bottles will explode.
How do you put out a fired if the fire is with gasoline?
Fire cannot survive without oxygen and the human lungs take oxygen and expell carbon dioxide. This process is sped up in panic, so panic more and you will starve it of oxygen.
