Speed of the reaction,
if metered properly (and slowly) then it just burns.

What gas can make a balloon float Is it hydrogen or Nitrogen or Argon or Chlorine?

Hydrogen can make a balloon float. Nitrogen, argon, and chlorine will not. However, hydrogen is combustible and in a balloon that cam near an ignition source, could produce a fire or explosion. The preferred gas for balloons, if cost is not an issue, is helium, which does not burn and is still very light.


Will WD-40 explode on contact with natural gas?

WD-40 and natural gas both need a source of ignition like a flame to explode.


Are energy levels in a hydrogen atom further apart near the nucleus?

No, the energy levels in a hydrogen atom are closer together near the nucleus and become more widely spaced as you move further away. The energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom is determined by its distance from the nucleus, with lower energy levels closer to the nucleus and higher energy levels further away.


What is the polarity of H2Se?

H2Se is a polar molecule due to the difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and selenium atoms. This causes an uneven distribution of charge, resulting in a slightly negative end near selenium and a slightly positive end near hydrogen.


Why does a lighted match stick put out when brought near a jar containing hydrogen?

A match won't light in hydrogen. It needs some oxygen.If you light a match in a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, you'll ignite the hydrogen ...which also wants very much to burn in oxygen. The hydrogen will combine (burn) withthe oxygen instantly, brightly, and possibly loudly. The product that remains after thehydrogen finishes burning is H2O .

Is pure hydrogen dangerous?

According to Wikipedia:"Hydrogen gas forms explosive mixtures with air if it is 4-74% concentrated and with chlorine if it is 5-95% concentrated. The mixtures spontaneously explode by spark, heat or sunlight. The hydrogen autoignition temperature, the temperature of spontaneous ignition in air, is 500 °C (932 °F)."


Which product is most likely to explode if stored near a heater Hydrogen peroxide or Aerosol can or Liquid cleanser or a wine bottle?

How do you explode TNT in Minecraft Classic?

The previous way to explode TNT was by punching it. However, you can also make the TNT explode by placing it near lava (a timely manner to explode it), clicking on it with flint and steel, or any contact with fire. If you were not in classic, it could also be ignited by Redstone or fire charge or even a fire arrow (assuming you have the latest version of Minecraft). In the related links below, I have listed the wiki article for TNT.


Will a shotgun shell explode from being near a fire?

It may. If the primer in the shell overheats, it will explode. That is what it is designed to do. This will cause the main charge of powder to explode. Don't even think about experimenting with this one. ====================================================== Cartridge shells are not designed to explode. When a cartridge is in a chamber of a rifle, and the primer is struck, it ignites the powder. The powder burns rapidly, but does not explode. Black powder has the capability to explode, smokeless powders do not. When a cartridge is in a fire, the powded burns rapidly. Because the cartridge is not held in a chamber, the force of the burning gasses is not contained, and will not project the projectile. The gasses dissipate. Still, not a good idea to do. limpetmine


What precautions should be taken when setting up a campsite with wet rocks near a fire?

When setting up a campsite with wet rocks near a fire, it is important to ensure that the rocks are completely dry before placing them near the fire. Wet rocks can heat up quickly and may crack or explode, posing a safety hazard. Additionally, make sure to keep a safe distance between the fire and the rocks to prevent any accidents.


Element which bursts into flames easily?

Just about anything in the beginning of the table. Hydrogen is used to make bombs and there's a reason you can't smoke near oxygen. Magnesium will give a pretty amazing show when tossed in a fire and sodium reacts with water. It has to be kept under a layer of oil because any moisture can make it explode.


When magnesium ribbon is bought near the Bunsen flame it catches fire and the colour of the flame produced would be?

The flame is white and very luminous.


Do iPhones really explode when you hold them near your ear?

No, iPhones don't explode when you hold them near your ear. I have an iPhone, and although I have used it for calls many, many times, it has never exploded.


How dangerous is the phenomenon of exploding rocks in fire and what precautions should be taken to prevent any potential harm?

The phenomenon of exploding rocks in fire can be very dangerous. When rocks absorb heat and then rapidly cool, they can explode, sending sharp fragments flying. To prevent harm, it is important to keep a safe distance from rocks near a fire, avoid heating rocks directly in a fire, and wear protective gear such as safety glasses when near a fire with rocks.


Can a can of aerosol explode if stored near heat?

yes because of the pressure


Why shouldn't you put a pressurised deodorant can near a hot fire?

Pressurized deodorant cans can explode when exposed to high temperatures such as a hot fire. The heat can cause the pressure inside the can to increase rapidly, leading to the container bursting and potentially causing harm and injury. It is best to keep pressurized cans away from heat sources to prevent accidents.


How do you put out a chip pan fire?

Turn all traces of gas off and make sure there is no flammable items such as aerosol cans, petrol or anything like that near by.Do NOT pour water over it! Water will only help the oil to create a bigger flame and the fire will explode and may harm or even kill you.Get a towel and dampen it.Ring it out so it is slightly damp.Place it over the fire and leave it there for at least 30 minutes (depending on the size of the fire).Placing a damp towel on the fire will stop oxygen from getting to the flames so the fire will smother out.If you take the towel off before at least 30 minutes has gone, the fire will most likely explode and spread again.
