No one obtains hydrogen by separating it from air. There's not enough hydrogen present in air for that to be a viable source.

However, it's possible to mix oxygen and hydrogen, yes. It forms a flammable (and explosive, if you get the proportions just right) mixture of gases.

Why does hydrogen pop louder when lit if it is first mixed with air?

The pop you hears is a result of the hydrogen reaction with oxygen. When it is mixed with air, all of the hydrogen is readily in contact with oxygen, and the reaction can proceed much more rapidly.


Is hydrogen flame able?

Yes. Explosive when mixed with oxygen or fluorine and even chlorine gas. Hydrogen is flammable. It burns in air or oxygen.


Why can't you mix hydrogen and air?

Mixing hydrogen and air can be dangerous because hydrogen is a highly flammable gas, and when mixed with oxygen in the air, it can lead to explosions or fires. The combination of hydrogen and air creates a highly explosive mixture that can ignite easily in the presence of a spark or heat source. Special precautions and safety measures must be taken when handling or storing hydrogen to prevent accidents.


How are coffee and air alike?

Coffee and air are mixed, but the coffee is heterogeneous, and the air is uniform and both have many substances in their chemical composition, the two have water, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen, but in different molecular ways.


Does pure hydrogen burn in the absence of air?

No hydrogen will not burn in the absence of air unless another oxidizer is present.


Can hydrogen and air mix?

Yes, hydrogen and air can mix. However, hydrogen is highly flammable and when mixed with air in certain concentrations, it can form an explosive mixture. This is why caution is needed when handling and storing hydrogen in the presence of air.


Is there much oxygen and hydrogen in the air?

Yes, there is oxygen in the air, which makes up about 20.95% of the Earth's atmosphere. However, most of the air is composed of nitrogen (about 78%). Hydrogen is present in trace amounts in the atmosphere, typically less than 0.00005%.


Howmany of hydrogen is in the atmosphere?

There is not much hydrogen in the air at all. The air mostly consists of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon.


Is hydrogen more abundant than oxygen in air?

No


Do astronauts breath hydrogen in space or oxygen or both?

They breathe air, which contains oxygen. They do not breathe hydrogen, as it is a bad idea to mix hydrogen and oxygen unless you intend to create anexplosion.
