Can oxygen and hydrogen be mixed after separating them from air?

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.
Is there much oxygen and hydrogen in the air?
Air contains abundant oxygen and trace amounts of hydrogen.
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 hydrogen react explosively with oxygen?
Yes. If mixed in the right proportions, and ignited, it does react with a great deal of force. Ever see the film of the Hindenburg? That was hydrogen burning in air- which is only 1/5 oxygen. Change that to straight oxygen, and you could have a very loud bang.
Does the air have carbon hydrogen and oxygen?
cuz its hydrogen and oxygen man gosh go make ur own answer
Why can't you mix hydrogen and air?
You can mix it but it will not stay mixed. Like oil mixed with water, hydrogen is much, much lighter then the rest of the components of air and it will therefore separate out.
Which gas forms the liquid first when the air is cooled?
oxygen and then hydrogen
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
Does fire need air or oxygen?
The fire is fueled by oxygen in the air. There is no significant amount of hydrogen gas found in the atmosphere.Does the question relate to a laboratory experiment involving hydrogen gas? Or is the question a general one? Oxygen is not a fuel, but it is required to support combustion, or rapid oxidation. Hydrogen is combustible and can be used as fuel. If you burn hydrogen, the fire is being fueled by the hydrogen, not the oxygen, but without O2, the hydrogen would not burn.
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.
