Industrially, hydrogen gas is made using two methods, usually one after the other. In the first reaction, called steam reforming, methane is reacted with water to form hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide.
CH4 + H2O → CO + 3 H2 Then the carbon monoxide is separated from the hydrogen, and in a second reaction, called the water gas shift reaction, carbon monoxide gas is reacted with water to form more hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide:
CO + H2O → CO2 + H2 There are other ways to make hydrogen gas in the laboratory, for instance adding a reactive metal, such as zinc, to an acid, or adding an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal to water (although that is explosive!), or through the electrolysis of water.

Hydrogen gas is produced when an acid reacts with a metal. This reaction is a redox reaction in which the metal displaces hydrogen from the acid to form hydrogen gas.
The name of the gas made when hydrogen carbonate reacts with acetic acid is carbon dioxide.
No. Although hydrogen is an atom, it doesn't exist by itself (except as an ion). Hydrogen gas is a hydrogen molecule made of two hydrogen atoms.
Hydrogen water is made by infusing water with molecular hydrogen gas. The process involves using a hydrogen water generator or hydrogen water bottle, which electrolyzes water to produce hydrogen gas that dissolves into the water. This can be done by simply adding hydrogen tablets or using a hydrogen water machine to create hydrogen-rich water.
Hydrogen gas is an element because it consists of hydrogen atoms, which all have the same number of protons in their nucleus. This defines it as a pure substance made up of only one type of atom, which is a characteristic of elements.
Hydrogen molecules, which is hydrogen atoms linked together.
Hydrogen molecules, which is hydrogen atoms linked together.
Stars are not a gas, but they are made of gases. Our Sun it made of Helium and Hydrogen. They are a ball of gas.
The sun is made from hydrogen gas and helium gas
hydrogen gas is H2 so it only contains hydrogen. therefore it is an element
When hydrogen combines with nitrogen, it forms ammonia gas (NH3).
Hydrogen gas
Mainly hydrogen.
No, it is made of hydrogen gas.
mainly composed of hydrogen and helium
Hydrogen gas is produced when an acid reacts with a metal. This reaction is a redox reaction in which the metal displaces hydrogen from the acid to form hydrogen gas.
The name of the gas made when hydrogen carbonate reacts with acetic acid is carbon dioxide.
