Is a pure substance flammable?
Some are flammable and some are not. This depends on the chemical properties of the individual substance. Nonflammable pure substance include helium, water, and gold. Flammable pure substances include hydrogen, hexane, and magnesium.
Why petrol is flammable and water is not though both are liquids?
because water is not a fuel but it is a byproduct of burning of hydrogen. while petrol is itself is fuel.
Which isotope of hydrogen is present in heavy water?
Deuterium
Most of the oxygen and hydrogen in living organisms is present as?
water
What makes water flamable gas?
Water is actually made from two highly flammable gases; oxygen and hydrogen. Either of them separately will explode. To make water into a flammable gasses, you have to separate the hydrogen and oxygen molecules into their constituent gaseous elements. This is most commonly achieved through a process called hydrolysis. See the related link below for more information about hydrolysis.
What is the combustibility of oxygen hydrogen and water?
Oxygen is not flammable, but it supports the combustion of flammable substances. Fire is just a reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance. Hydrogen is extremely flammable and will burn violently in air to form water vapor. Water is completely non flammable and is often used to extinguish fires.
Is peroxide flammable?
Hydrogen peroxide, which has a boiling point of 150.2 degrees, is non-flammable. Related compounds to Hydrogen peroxide include water, hydrazine and hydrogen disulfide.
Is hydrogen like water?
Not at all. Hydrogen is a very low-density highly flammable gas.
Is potash flammable?
Potassium is flamible. Potassium can be lit in two ways ;heat from a flame and water belive it or not.by chris lewin
Is hydrogen different from water?
Yes. Hydrogen is an element. It usually exists as a light, highly flammable gas. Water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen that can be produced by burning hydrogen.
Is hydrogen perioxide flammable?
No. Hydrogen peroxide is not flammable, especially since the commercial concentration of 3% is 97% water. In high concentrations above about 50% hydrogen peroxide is a dangerous oxidizer that, while not flammable itself, can set other materials on fire.
Is lawrencium flammable?
Lanthanum is silvery white, malleable, flammable solid. As such it reacts with water and dilute acids to produce flammable, explosive hydrogen gas.
Why do the flamable gases in your atmosphere not ignite for example when a nuclear weapon is tested?
Oxygen is required for fire, but it is not itself "flammable". The elements of hydrogen and helium, while flammable, are present in such minute quantities that they are to diffuse in our atmosphere to ignite. Imagine put a thimble of gasoline some how absorbed in a gallon of water. Gasoline is flammable, but mixed in the water is not going to light.
What is old name of hydrogen?
The old name was "flammable air." The name hydrogen was invented after they found out burning hydrogen in air creates water - "hydro" means water and "gen" means "produces."
How many hydrogen atoms are present in a water molecule?
there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in water
Does fire extinguisher contain hydrogen?
Not elemental hydrogen, no. That would not work in a fire extinguisher as hydrogen is highly flammable. Some fire extinguishers do use water, however, which is a hydrogen compound.
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.
