What lighter than air gas was once used to power airships in cause the Hindenburg disaster?
The gas was Hydrogen.
What was the Hindenburg that exploded over Lakehurst May 6 1937?
It was a dirigible- a lighter-than-air airship with a rigid frame. It was lighter than air since it was filled with hydrogen gas. Unfortunately hydrogen is also extremely flammable.
What is the name of the gas used in gas sterilization?
The gas commonly used in gas sterilization is ethylene oxide (EtO).
How did the Hindenburg stay in the air?
The gas bags of the Hindenberg were filled with Hydrogen gas. Hydrogen is lighter than air, the same way air is lighter than water. The Hydrogen filled "balloon" floated on the air just as one filled with air would float on water. By letting out gas or replacing it from tanks of compressed Hydrogen, they could control the trim and buoyancy of the airship. Unfortunately, Hydrogen is highly flammable when mixed with air, as we all know from what happened to Hindenberg. Although there are ways to avoid disasters such as the one that befell it, people were afraid and that was, effectively, the end of lighter-than-air transportation for commercial purposes.
How was oil and gas made in ancient times?
It was not made. They did not use gas or oil back then. Oil which seeped out at the surface ( more like tar as the gas and lighter part would dissipate into the atmosphere) was used. Crude oil, natural gas, and coal are made when biological material (usually algae) is buried beneath the surface of the earth and slowly cooked under the pressure of the earth above. This process can be observed today at the bottom of the oceans where algae flourish. If you are referring to how it was used - then it was a rare commodity, but the Chinese used it for heating, and the Zoroastrians believed it to be a way of communing with spirits; that is when natural gas seeped from the earth and caught fire. Spirits were said to be whispering in the flames.
Which gas is used for cigerate lighter?
Butane
What are important facts about helium?
helium is used in gas ballons .it is the lighter gas
Why helium is used in wheather balloons?
because helium gas is lighter
What lighter than air gas was once used to power airships in cause the Hindenburg disaster?
The gas was Hydrogen.
How have you used the properties of gas in regards to an hot air balloon?
It is lighter than air
Why is helium used in hot-air balloons when hydrogen is the lighter gas?
heliums ligther
What gas is used in the goodyear blimp?
Helium, a lighter than air gas, is used for buoyancy in the Goodyear Blimp. Hydrogen has not been used for many decades because of the explosive danger.
Is lighter fuel petrol?
It may be (Butane is a gas, Naphtha is a liquid), but alcohol is also used.
Which gas is found in airships and helps them to float?
Helium is used because it is lighter than air
Is natural gas lighter or heavier than air?
Natural gas is lighter than air and rises.
Why is butane gas a liquid in lighter but a gas in water?
The liquid butane in a lighter was compressed, and is under pressure. At normal temperatures, if released from the lighter it will change back to a gas. Extremely rapid evaporation.
Helium is a gas which is used in balloons because it is lighter than air.But hydrogen is a gas which is even lighter than the helium.Why helium is used rather than the hydrogen?
Because Hydrogen is highly flammable, and will easily and rapidly burn in the air and turn into H2O (water).
