What is the diffence between a hydrogen fuel cell and a hydrogen combustion engine?

A hydrogen combustion engine is like the engine in your car. Hydrogen and oxygen enter a combustion chamber, ignite, and form a ball of hot vapour (steam) which moves a piston that rotates a crankshaft. Alternately a hydrogen combustion engine could be a rocket or jet engine where the burning fuel exhausts the combustion chamber as vapour (steam again) and impacts a forward motion to the engine by the mass discharge. A fuel hydrogen cell is more like a battery. Hydrogen and oxygen react in a catalyst matrix that allows the process to continue at a fixed rate. Like most chemical reactions this involves the movement of electrons to create positive and negative reactant ions. The flow of electrons is conducted to an electrical system as power. Water is still the byproduct.


Can water be used as fuel in internal combustion engine?

No, water cannot be used as a direct fuel in an internal combustion engine. However, water can be used in a process called electrolysis to produce hydrogen, which can then be used as a fuel source in internal combustion engines.


What is the difference between a hydrogen bond donor and acceptor in terms of their roles in forming hydrogen bonds?

A hydrogen bond donor is a molecule that provides a hydrogen atom for bonding, while a hydrogen bond acceptor is a molecule that accepts the hydrogen atom. In forming hydrogen bonds, the donor and acceptor work together to create a strong attraction between molecules.


Which arrangement of hydrogen ions allows work to be done?

In order for hydrogen ions to do work , their concentration on each side of the membrane must be different. When the concentrations are the same the system is at equilibrium and can not do work.


Is using hydrogen as a fuel in cars a chemical change?

To get Hydrogen as a fuel to be used in electric vehicles, the hydrogen combines with oxygen giving of 2 electrons which powers the application. The waste product is H20 (water!). If you want a simple yes or no, then the answer is Yes, because you are converting Hydrogen into Water to produce electricity.

How much energy does a car engine have?

A car engine is technically a heat engine that has no energy of its own but it converts the chemical energy in the fuels into heat and then into kinetic energy by turning a rotating shaft. The chemicals that react to make the engine work consists of carbon and hydrogen from the gasoline in the fuel tank, and oxygen taken from the atmosphere. The carbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and heat, while the hydrogen reacts with oxygen to produce water and heat.


How do motors on hydrogen cars differ from combustion or hybrid engines?

Like a gas combustion engine, a hydrogen engine relies on the combustion process - in this case, combustion that results when hydrogen is combined with oxygen. Fuel cells in a hydrogen-powered car then convert this mechanical energy into electrical energy.


Is it possible to run a car on water?

no. But they are working on it. They are developing a process to separate the hydrogen from H2O. An engine can run on hydrogen.
