Fundamentally, because the Gibbs free energy of elemental hydrogen and oxygen is substantially greater than the Gibbs free energy of the water formed by their chemical reaction, and the activation energy for the reaction is not excessively high.

How is water different from the elements which made them?

Hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are gases at room temperature. Oxygen supports combustion and hydrogen is very combustible. Water is a liquid at room temperature and is not combustible and does not support combustion.

Is chlorine a corrosive combustible or flammable?

Corrosive, but it also 'burns' with hydrogen gas


If Hydrogen is combustible substance and oxygen is also combustible substance but the product water is non combustible substance Why?

When hydrogen burns, it is combining with oxygen. Once it has combined to form water, the molecule does not want to readily accept more oxygen atoms. Fire is rapid oxidation, so if it is already oxidized, it is done.


What are The combustible products of most coal gasification techniques?

The combustible products of coal gasification techniques typically include syngas, which is a mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and other hydrocarbons. These products can be burned as fuel for energy production or further processed into chemicals and other valuable products.


Is c6h10 combustible?

Yes, C6H10 is combustible because it is a hydrocarbon compound composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which can react with oxygen in the presence of heat to produce energy in the form of heat and light.


Is H2 combustible?

No, hydrogen gas (H2) is flammable but not combustible. Combustibility refers to a substance's ability to ignite and sustain a fire, which hydrogen cannot do without an external ignition source. However, once ignited, hydrogen burns rapidly and can be explosive in certain conditions.


What is combastable gas?

Combustible gas is a gas that can be easily ignited and burned. These gases include methane, propane, hydrogen, and natural gas. Special precautions must be taken when handling and storing combustible gases to prevent accidents or fires.
