Hydrogen itself is highly flammable. If it comes in contact with an open flame it will ignite and burn very rapidly, resulting in an explosion.

What happens when fire mixes with hydrogen?
If there is enough oxygen, the hydrogen will ignite and burn rapidly, possible leading to an explosion.
What is sodium's reaction with cold water?
There will be a release of hydrogen gas & heat. Possible explosion or fire may follow.
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.
What does sodium do in water?
The unstable nature of sodium and other alkali metals makes it fun to throw in water. Sodium rips apart the oxygen and hydrogen atoms that form water, thus converting water into hydrogen and oxygen. Then, the immense heat generated by the reaction will ignite the hydrogen, fusing it with oxygen to form water (water atoms is made out of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms), and also at that time the fire made by the hydrogen that was set aflame will create that big explosion and fire.
Why should you not throw small pieces of sodium into a sink in the laboratory?
Sodium is a very reactive metal. Hence it reacts with water to form hydrogen gas and a large amount of heat. This makes hydrogen gas to catch fire. And hence explosion could result. Thus to prevent explosion, sodium pieces should not be thrown in sink and sodium is stored under kerosene to prevent its reaction.
How Does Hydrogen React With Fire?
It goes boom. scary. Another answer Nothing happens when fire is added to hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas needs another gas in order to do anything. If you have hydrogen gas in the air and add fire, you get a great big boom.
What was used in Ambrose Godfrey's fire extinguisher that caused an explosion?
Hydrogen Gas

Is the sun liqid?
no, it's a constant explosion by gases known as helium, hydrogen. it is a fire, not a liquid.

Was the Haber process used in the West fertiliser factory?
If hydrogen was stored onsite at the West Fertiliser factory then that is what the explosion was caused by after the initial fire which led to the hydrogen escape.
What happens if you put hydrogen in a fire extinguisher?
Putting hydrogen into a fire extinguisher would create a very dangerous device. Compressed hydrogen gas burns very rapidly when mixed with oxygen and ignited. This could cause an explosion resulting in damage and injury.
Why was hydrogen balloons dangerous?
because hydrogen is flammable and can catch on fire!!! and you don't want a airship that is on fire!!
Is hydrogen hazardous?
The primary safety hazards of hydrogen are fire (and the resulting burns since a hydrogen fire is not easily visible) and explosion if the hydrogen is compressed in a cylinder. It is difficult to suffocate in hydrogen, although not impossible, because the gas is very light, rises to the ceiling, and easily exfiltrates through seams and small fissures in structures.
What are the differences between a fire and an explosion?
fire by itself doesn't explode. Explosion explodes.
When gas and fire come together what makes the explosion?
An explosion is caused by fuel burning very rapidly. The products of combustion expand rapidly and with extreme force, and the result is what we call an explosion. So...if you put gasoline on a fire and it explodes, as it will, the explosion was caused by the fire.
