If you can introduce the burning match into the jar of hydrogen without contact with air, it will go out, but in practice this is impossible. Hydrogen diffuses so rapidly, that the instant you take the lid off and put the match at the mouth of the jar, the hydrogen will burn. If you are really quick it will make a dull bang, because the hydrogen will only burn as it meets the air. If you are a little slower, the bang will be louder and squeaky, because the hydrogen will have mixed with air and will burn faster.

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 happens if a burning match is placed in a test tube of a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen?

In an atmosphere of 100 % hydrogen there is no oxygen to support combustion so the candle cannot be lit. When there is some air present expect a pop (more energetic event) as the hydrogen oxygen mixture explodes forming water.


Why is hydrogen placed with nonmetals?

Hydrogen hasn't metallic properties.


What happens when objects are placed into liquid hydrogen?

When objects are placed into liquid hydrogen, they become extremely cold due to the low temperature of liquid hydrogen (-252.87°C). Depending on the material, they may become brittle and susceptible to breaking. Some materials may also experience changes in electrical conductivity or magnetic properties when exposed to such extreme cold.


Why does hydrogen rise in air?

this happens because hydrogen is lighter than air


What happens to the hydrogen atom of the HCl molecule when placed in water?

When the HCl molecule is placed in water, the hydrogen atom will dissociate from the chlorine atom, forming a hydronium ion (H3O+) and a chloride ion (Cl-) through a process called dissociation or ionization. This reaction occurs because water molecules can act as a proton acceptor, reacting with the hydrogen atom from HCl to form the hydronium ion.


What happens when sodium peace is put in beaker containing water?

When sodium piece is placed into water, it reacts vigorously to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic, releasing heat, and the hydrogen gas produced can ignite if in the presence of oxygen. Extreme caution is advised when performing this reaction due to the flammable nature of hydrogen gas.


Why is hydrogen (H) placed with elements in Group 1A?

Properties of Hydrogen. Hydrogen is a nonmetal and is placed above group in the Periodic Table because it has ns1 electron configuration like the alkali metals.


What happens when a split that is on fire is placed into a container containing hydrogen gas and oxygen gas?

If a split that is on fire is placed into a container containing hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, the split will react with the hydrogen and oxygen gases causing a combustion reaction. This reaction will produce water vapor and release a large amount of heat and light. It can result in an explosion due to the rapid combustion of hydrogen and oxygen.


What happens when copper is placed in acid?

When copper is placed in acid, a chemical reaction occurs where the copper reacts with the acid to form copper ions and hydrogen gas. This reaction results in the copper dissolving in the acid and producing a blue-green solution.


Burning splint test for hydrogen gas?

hydrogen gas is H2 When H2 reacts with oxygen and fire (energy) It is combustion H2+ 02= 2(H20) Which is water. In that state it is water vapor. A popping noise is also made. That is water vapor racing out. The burning splint tests, basically, is when an individual lights a splint. On lighting this splint, it should be placed near a bottle containing hydrogen gas [ H2 ]. On carrying out this action, the glowing splint may increase in size, regarding the size of the flame, that is. The Hydrogen gas, on the other hand, will make a popping sound. The intensity of the 'pop' will depend on the amount of Hydrogen gas collected in the bottle. Take care to ensure that no Hydrogen gas escapes, or is released from the bottle, until the splint is placed, at least 2 inches away from the opening of the bottle.
