There is, for all practical purposes, no hydrogen in the Earth's atmosphere (somewhere around 50 parts per million). Oxygen makes up roughly 1/5 of the atmosphere.

So, no. There is much more oxygen than hydrogen in the air.

There is no real answer. The equation of water is : H2O so it's two parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen.

There is more nitrogen in the atmosphere but oxygen is the most abundant element in the earth's crust.

Yes. Dry air is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 0.04% carbon dioxide.

oxygen gas is heavier than hydrogen gas


Is hydrogen more dangerous than oxygen Why?

Hydrogen is dangerous than Helium because Hydrogen is a stronger gas than Helium.


Which is more heavier - hydrogen gas or oxygen gas?

Mass of Hydrogen gas:- 2g/mol Mass of Oxygen gas :- 32g/mol Therefore, Oxygen gas is more heavier


Which gas supports combustion other than oxygen?

Hydrogen burns in Chlorine to form HCl. Thus, CHLORINE gas supports the burning of Hydrogen.


What do you get when you electrolyse water?

Hydrogen and oxygen are the products of electroysis of water .


When hydrogen gas and oxygen gas react as much oxygen gas than hydrogen gas is required?

The reaction equation is: 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O So one need two volume part of hydrogen and one volume part of oxygen to form water.


How do you write the formulae for hydrogen gas oxygen gas?

Hydrogen gas is H2. Oxygen gas is O2.


The pressure in a gas cylinder containing hydrogen will leak more quikly than if it is containing oxygen?

The pressure in a gas cylinder containing hydrogen will leak more quickly than oxygen. REASON & EXPLANATION: According to graham law of diffusion, the rate of diffusions of certain gas is inversely proportional to its molecular mass and density. i. e. smaller the molecular mass and density,greater will be the rate of diffusion and vice versa. As the hydrogen is lighter than the oxygen, so the molecular mass and density is lower than that of oxygen, so the pressure in a gas cylinder containing hydrogen will leak more quickly than if it is containing oxygen.


What chemicals were the products in the reaction in producing of hydrogen and oxygen gases?

This question answers itself. The products of a reaction PRODUCING hydrogen and oxygen are, well, hydrogen and oxygen!If you are asking what hydrogen and oxygen are made FROM, than the REACTANT is water. If a voltage is applied to water, hydrogen and oxygen gas are made.If you are asking what the product of a reaction is when hydrogen and oxygen are the REACTANTS, then the answer is also water.See the Related Questions for more information to the left of this answer.


Why hydrogen gas collected by upward delivery?

Because hydrogen gas is less dense than air(mostly nitrogen and oxygen), and the less dense gas flows to go above the more dense(and escape the atmosphere).


Which is more reactive - helium or hydrogen?

I'm not sure of the exacts, but I'm fairly sure that oxygen is more reactive than hydrogen. For example, when testing with a smoldering wood splint, in the presence of oxygen gas the flame is reignited, while in the presence of hydrogen gas the splint simply glows. Again, not sure of the exacts myself, but it may have something to do with the fact that oxygen is diatomic and has a double bond with itself, leaving each oxygen atom with two unbonded pairs of valence electrons, making it more reactive. Hydrogen is also diatomic, and that means that each hydrogen atom is used in the single covalent bond, leaving it with no unbonded valence electrons, making it presumably less reactive than oxygen.


Is a gas given of when water splits into hydrogen and oxygen?
