How does the explosiveness of hydrogen compare to that of gasoline?
Hydrogen is more explosive than gasoline.
Is hydrogen more flammable than gasoline?
Yes, hydrogen is more flammable than gasoline.
Is hydrogen dangerous to humans?
Hydrogen is very flammable to the point of being explosive under the right conditions. It must be kept away from any open flame, However Hydrogen is also less flammable than gasoline. The auto-ignition-point* of hydrogen is 932 degrees Fahrenheit. The auto-ignition-point* of gasoline is only 536 degrees Fahrenheit. Hydrogen has no danger to humans, although if you breath in too much it will replace the oxygen and you will suffocate and possibly die. *Autoignition point is the temperature it takes to ignite or spontaneously combust.
Both hydrogen gas and helium gas are lighter than air. Why is helium used to lift blimps instead of hydrogen?
Helium is non-flammable, making it safer than hydrogen which is highly flammable. This reduces the risk of fire accidents when using helium to lift blimps. Additionally, helium is more abundant and easy to obtain compared to hydrogen, making it a more practical choice for lifting gas.
Does diesel fuel contain more energy than gasoline?
Yes, diesel fuel contains more energy per gallon than gasoline.
How does the explosiveness of hydrogen compare to that of gasoline?
Hydrogen is more explosive than gasoline.
Is hydrogen more flammable than gasoline?
Yes, hydrogen is more flammable than gasoline.
Is gasoline more explosive than gas?
In general gasoline is not more explosive then gas although it depends on the conditions and the gas. Probably you are referring to natural gas, the gas piped into homes which is predominantly methane. In general flammable gasses are more explosive than flammable liquids because they are mixed up with atmospheric oxygen. This is why modern cars have fuel injection which sprays the petrol to make it more easily combustible. In fact liquid petrol is not explosive at all but because it is volatile a layer of vapour forms above the surface of the liquid which is explosive. The mix of fuel and oxygen is the critical factor in whether something is explosive. Some gases, such as the noble gases are not flammable at all.
Is nitromethane more explosive than gasoline?
Yes, nitromethane is more explosive than gasoline. Nitromethane has a higher energy density and burns more quickly, making it a popular choice in drag racing and other high-performance applications. However, nitromethane is also more unstable and requires special handling and precautions due to its highly explosive nature.
How explosive is gasoline compared to other common fuels?
Gasoline is more explosive than many other common fuels, such as diesel and natural gas. It has a higher volatility and flammability, making it more prone to combustion when exposed to a spark or flame.
Is compressed air less explosive than gasoline?
no it isn't
Is gasoline more dense than both helium and hydrogen?
Much more dense. They are the two lightest gasses in the universe, and gasoline is a liquid, which is always denser than a gas.
Are hydrogen cars more or less than a gas car?
Hydrogen cars aren't as popular as a traditional petrol car, so the cost of a hydrogen car would probably be a little more expensive just because they aren't mass produced. When it comes to refilling, the hydrogen costs about the same as gasoline, but the best thing is that the hydrogen will be priced consistently if it can be produced efficiently in the future, because unlike gasoline and oil, it is renewable.
Can gasoline be produced from coal?
Although it requires more energy than it would generate when combusted and also needs an input of hydrogen, yes, it is possible.
What bombs are much more powerful than the atomic bombs?
Thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs are significantly more powerful than atomic bombs. These bombs use a two-stage process that combines nuclear fission and fusion reactions, resulting in a much larger explosive yield.

Why are gasoline vapors more flammable than liquid gasoline?
Petrol, or octane, has no surface tension because it is a non-polar molecule. Water is very polar, meaning the water molecule has a positive end and a negative end. This causes hydrogen bonding, an inter-molecular attraction, between water molecules. This in turn causes surface tension, which binds water into droplets, and explains many of water's properties. So, petrol evaporates more quickly than water and pours easier.
