Best Answer

First take test tube (an empty test tube) hydrogen is colorless ,tasteless and odorless. (it is also very light that why weather balloons are filled with hydrogen). Then put a burning splint at the mouth of the test tube and you know that there is hydrogen in the air because hydrogen burns with a pop when it is mixed with air so now you know that there is hydrogen in the air.

How did the Hindenburg stay in the air?

The gas bags of the Hindenberg were filled with Hydrogen gas. Hydrogen is lighter than air, the same way air is lighter than water. The Hydrogen filled "balloon" floated on the air just as one filled with air would float on water. By letting out gas or replacing it from tanks of compressed Hydrogen, they could control the trim and buoyancy of the airship. Unfortunately, Hydrogen is highly flammable when mixed with air, as we all know from what happened to Hindenberg. Although there are ways to avoid disasters such as the one that befell it, people were afraid and that was, effectively, the end of lighter-than-air transportation for commercial purposes.
