Did the explosion of the Hindenburg lead to the creation of the hydrogen bomb?
no!!!!!the Hindenburg did not explode. its aluminum painted skin caught fire from an electrostatic discharge. that fire ignited ordinary chemical hydrogen/oxygen fires as the lift gas bladders breached.no nuclear fusion was involved. not even a chemical explosion occurred.
Can hydrogen be ignited with a spark?
In sufficient quantities, yes. It is highly inflammable.
Classify each of the following as a physical or a chemical property. Give reasons for your answer. A. metallic lustre B. boiling point C. explodes when ignited.?
A. Physical property because the metal is just getting shinier, not creating a new substance B. Physical property because the substance is changing form, not creating a new substance C. Chemical property because the substance is changing form during specific chemical reactions characterising an explosion and an ignition
Is hydrogen inflammable?
Absolutely not! It is extremely flammable. Ever heard of the Hindenburg Blimp that blew up? That was because the hydrogen ignited. Also, if hydrogen couldn't ignite, there would be no water because water is formed by combustion.
What happens when you mix liquid hydrogen with liquid oxygen?
You get a mixture of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. If this is done at ordinary atmospheric pressures, the oxygen will probably freeze, since its melting point is above the boiling point of liquid hydrogen. (I'm not sure of the solubility of solid oxygen in liquid hydrogen.)
Did the hindenburg explode?
The Hindenburg was filled with the element Hydrogen, which is extremely flammable. A spark ignited the hydrogen, which caused the skin of the zeppelin to burn furiously. The hydrogen fueled the inferno.
Can natural gas explode?
yes if in a cylinder and ignited
How did the Hindenburg explode?
The Hindenburg was filled with the element Hydrogen, which is extremely flammable. A spark ignited the hydrogen, which caused the skin of the zeppelin to burn furiously. The hydrogen fueled the inferno.
Is Magnesium burns brightly when ignited physical or chemical property?
The combustion of magnesium in air is a chemical reaction.
Why does hydrogen explode when pottasium reacts with water?
The mixture of oxygen and hydrogen at high temperature (a reaction occur) is very explosive.
Does oxygen and hydrogen explode when ignited?
Oxygen has a tremendously greater attraction for electrons than hydrogen does, so when hydrogen donates an electron to oxygen, there is a substantial release of energy. This energy appears in the form of heat, so the gases (hydrogen, oxygen, and water vapor which is the product of the reaction) will be very hot. Hot gases expand rapidly, hence, they explode.
Why did piper alpha explode?
because people were not paying attention and there was a gas leak and it ignited

How did the Hindenbury explode?
It was full of hydrogen, and hydrogen is one of the most flammable substances known to man, and once it caught fire, boom boom, death. Some recent evidence supports the theory that the outer fabric coat of the dirigible was made of a material that was more volatile than originally realized. Apparently, small sparks generated by the docking process ignited this coat, and this soon compromised the hull and ignited the hydrogen. If the outer coat had been made differently, the accident might never have happened.
When hydrogen explodes does it form water?
It depends on the circumstances. Hydrogen will burn in air, to be sure. It will make a pop sound producing a blue flame and forming water when ignited in a test tube. But in the case of the Hindenburg, it just burned with extreme rapidity. Hydrogen mixed with air or oxygen is explosive, but will not explode in "bulk" form.
Is Hydrogen a nonreactive substance?
Hydrogen is infamous for its \high reactivity. The Hindenburg, which which used hydrogen as its buoyancy gas went down rapidly in flames due to the high reactivity of that hydrogen when it was ignited.
