similar to separating the oxygen and hydrogen in water. When the battery fully charged it is made up of 64% water and 36% sulfuric acid and when the battery is in "charging" state by the alternator or charging source the electricity basically separates the water molecules (hydrogen from oxygen) giving of the hydrogen as bubbles.....sKD
What else can I help you with?
What gas is produced from car batteries?
Any lead-acid battery system when overcharged will produce hydrogen gas.
How could a car battery explode?
Auto batteries contain Sulfuric acid and all batteries produce a very small amount of hydrogen gas which is highly volatile. If the battery is overcharged it will produce more hydrogen gas than the vents on the battery can safely release. Any spark can then cause an explosion. Also connecting a jumper cable in reverse can cause the battery to explode.
What do metals react with acids to produce?
Metals react with acids to produce a salt and hydrogen gas.
What kind of batteries are used in submarines?
They use batteries quite similar to car batteries. Sealed lead-acid batteries. They are huge. Bigger or smaller subs will of course have different sizes and amounts. Batteries produce waste gas and hydrogen when charged or discharged and must also be ventilated regularly to prevent build-up.
Do bases react with metals to produce hydrogen gas?
Yes, bases can react with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas. This involves the displacement of hydrogen ions from the base by the metal atoms, leading to the formation of metal ions and hydrogen gas. An example of this reaction is the reaction of sodium hydroxide with aluminum to produce sodium aluminate and hydrogen gas.
What gas do you get from batteries?
Hydrogen is released during charging of a lead acid battery.
When acids react with active metals they always produce what?
When acids react with active metals, they always produce a salt and hydrogen gas.
What is the formula equation hydrogen gas reacts with fluorine gas to produce hydrogen fluoride gas?
H2 + F2 -> 2HFhydrogen + fluorine -> hydrogen fluorideOne molecule of hydrogen reacts with one molecule of fluorine to produce two molecules of HF.
What gas does acid produce when mixed with calcium?
Hydrogen gas (H2)
How does bacillus anthracis grow?
By using aerobic respiration and anaerobic fermentation Yersinia pestis are able to produce and consume hydrogen gas for energy.
Why does corrosion build up on batteries?
Hydrogen gas escaping from the battery causes this corrosion.
Which metals react with acid to produce hydrogen?
I only know 3 metals that react with acids to produce hydrogen. They are Zinc, iron and magnesium. There are 3 acids which react with them: and It will produce hydrogen gas which is the lightest known gas and is flammable :)
