Hydrogen is a very flammable substance and will combust readily with oxygen when lit. A small amount of hydrogen that is combusted will produce a pop sound (pop test) but if large amounts of hydrogen is present then an explosion (I wouldn't call it that, but I guess it is) will happen.
What else can I help you with?
What is the gas produced when sodium reacts with water?
Sodium metal is very reactive and would explode when in contact with water and produce hydrogen gas.
Can hydrogen gas relight a flame?
No. Oxygen gas relights flames. Hydrogen gas will explode in the presence of fire, giving a 'squeaky pop'
Can Hydrogen explode on its own?
Hydrogen can explode when mixed with oxygen in the presence of an ignition source. This can happen in environments where hydrogen and oxygen are present in the correct proportions, such as in a confined space. It is important to handle hydrogen safely to prevent such explosions.
Why does lithium explode when in water?
Lithium reacts violently with water, producing lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases a large amount of heat very quickly, leading to an explosive reaction. The hydrogen gas produced can also ignite, increasing the intensity of the explosion.
What is the state of hydrogen at 20 degrees?
Hydrogen is a gas at 20 degrees, Fahrenheit and Celsius, but it you are talking Kelvin, then it is a liquid.
Why is Helium gas used in gas balloons instead of hydrogen gas?
Hydrogen is highly flammable and can easily explode. Helium is a more stable gas.
What gas makes a popping noise when you light it?
The gas making the popping noise is hydrogen.
What gas can explode?
Flourine (with hydrogen, even in the cold and dark), also Chlorine (when exposed to sunlight with hydrogen)
Does hydrogn implode or explode?
Hydrogen is highly flammable and can explode when exposed to a spark, flame, or heat source in the presence of oxygen. The explosion occurs due to the rapid combustion of hydrogen gas with oxygen in the air.
Which two metals explode in water and why?
Sodium and potassium are two metals that can explode in water because they react violently with water to produce hydrogen gas. This reaction is highly exothermic, causing the hydrogen gas to ignite and explode.
Why is helium gas safer than hydrogen gas?
Because hydrogen is reactive and combines with oxygen, while helium is inert.
What would happen if you hold a burning stick under hydrogen gas?
If anything burning is inserted into, or placed around a mass of Hydrogen gas, it will ignite the Hydrogen, causing it to "explode". The resulting explosion is very hot, and if done with too much Hydrogen gas, can be dangerous. Exercise caution when preforming this.
What is oxygen gas and hydrogen gas?
Oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule composed of two oxygen atoms (O2) that is essential for respiration and combustion. Hydrogen gas is also a diatomic molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms (H2) that is flammable and commonly used as a fuel source.
What is the gas produced when sodium reacts with water?
Sodium metal is very reactive and would explode when in contact with water and produce hydrogen gas.
If Jupiter is a gas planet why doesn't lightning make it explode?
Explosions like that are caused by rapid chemical reactions. Jupiter is made up mostly of hydrogen. For hydrogen to explode, it needs something to react with. It usually reacts with oxygen. But on Jupiter, there is no oxygen. The only other gas that exists on Jupiter in significant amounts is helium. Helium does not react with hydrogen. So without a gas to react with, the planet is safe from explosion.
Can hydrogen gas relight a flame?
No. Oxygen gas relights flames. Hydrogen gas will explode in the presence of fire, giving a 'squeaky pop'
Is pure hydrogen dangerous?
According to Wikipedia:"Hydrogen gas forms explosive mixtures with air if it is 4-74% concentrated and with chlorine if it is 5-95% concentrated. The mixtures spontaneously explode by spark, heat or sunlight. The hydrogen autoignition temperature, the temperature of spontaneous ignition in air, is 500 °C (932 °F)."
