Best Answer

In a bottle of hydrogen and oxygen the two elements are intermingled but remain chemically separate and distinct. You have H2 molecules and O2 molecules in the same general space.

In a bottle of water the hydrogen and oxygen are combined into a single substance, forming molecules of H2O.

What is the primary gas in a volcano?

There are many gases emitted from volcanoes, such as water vapor (yes, it's a gas!), carbon dioxide, and sulphur dioxide. They are also known to release smaller amounts of hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, and helium into our atmosphere.


Can you make water by burning hydrogen gas in air?

Yes. Burning hydrogen gas in air produces water vapor.


Chemical equation for hydrogen to water vapor?

The chemical equation for hydrogen to water vapor is not possible as stated. In order for hydrogen to form water in any physical state, it must combine with oxygen. The following are the word equation and the chemical equation for hydrogen and oxygen combining to form water. Hydrogen gas plus oxygen gas produces water. 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O


Water vapor and air inside an aluminum container are heated to a high temperature The container is then submerged in ice cold water Why does the aluminum container collapse?

When water is heated, water vapor forces the air out. When submerged in cold water, the water vapor condenses instantly, leaving a partial vacuum in the can, Atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi) acting on the outside of the can crushes the can before air can rush through the opening in the can to balance the pressure. Fun science experiment, just be careful not to get burned.


Gases emitted by volcanoes contain mostly?

That gas produced from erupting volcanoes are primarily composed of water vapor, Carbon Dioxide and Sulfur Dioxide. The gas can also contain hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen fluoride.

If you have a container with hydrogen gas and oxygen gas what do you have?

You have a mixture that can be easily ignited to form water vapor.


Is water vapor and hydorgen the some?

No, water vapor is still H2O, a compound of hydrogen an oxygen. Hydrogen gas is H2, and element with very different chemical and physical properties, chief among them being that hydrogen is highly flammable.


The addition of water vapor as the air passes?

Water in a container consists of liquid in the container and water vapor above the container. As the air passes, it carries off the water vapor above the water and the water in the container replenishes it. Moving air blows water vapor away much faster than still air. As a result, a plate with water in it will dry faster if air is blowing on it than a plate will if no air is blowing on it.


If hydrogen and oxygen is in a container does it create water?

Not unless a small amount of energy (e.g. an electric spark) is added to ignite the mixture, then the reaction explosivelyproduces hot water vapor (i.e. steam).


Does ozone combine with hydrogen?

Ozone and hydrogen do not react directly, in general. Hydrogen does get oxidized to water vapor, and water vapor does destroy ozone to make hydrogen peroxide. It just takes a couple of intermediate steps.


Is their any way to trap hydrogen in a different container after separating a water molecule?

The hydrogen can be "trapped" as H2(g), hydrogen gas. You cannot trap just H.


Is water vapor a mixture or pure substance?

Water vapor is a gas, not a mixture. Water vapor is just the gas form of water, it is not a mixture.Water Vapor is a compound made by bonding Hydrogen and Oxygen.


Is water vapor the same as hydrogen?

water vapor is still water it's just the gas form so its H2O


How is vapor water different from liquid water?

Water vapor is different from liquid water because water vapor is a gas, and liquid water is a liquid.


Why did scientists name hydrogen hydrogen?

In Ancient Greek, hydrogen translates as "water maker." Hydrogen forms water vapor when it is burned in air.


What substance is produced when hydrogen is burned?

Water vapor.
