What else can I help you with?
Does chlorine support combustion?
Chlorine gas supports the vigorous combustion of many elements to form their chlorides. For example, Sulphur and Phosphorus burn in the gas.
Can hydrogen support combustion?
Hydrogen is a fuel for combustion, but cannot support it in the manner than oxygen can.
What is the name of the gas that makes a squeaky pop when lit with a spill?
The gas is called hydrogen. When hydrogen gas is lit with a spill, it produces a squeaky pop sound due to the rapid ignition and combustion of the gas.
What will a burning splint do in nitrogen?
It will go out. Nitrogen, which makes up 79% of the Earth's atmosphere, does not support combustion.
Does hydrogen burn by itself?
Yes. Hydrogen is a highly flammable gas. Below is a link to a slow motion YouTube video showing a hydrogen filled balloon being ignited. It shows just how flammable hydrogen is. Don't try this at home unless you know what you are doing.......
Does chlorine support combustion?
Chlorine gas supports the vigorous combustion of many elements to form their chlorides. For example, Sulphur and Phosphorus burn in the gas.
How is water different from the elements which made them?
Hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are gases at room temperature. Oxygen supports combustion and hydrogen is very combustible. Water is a liquid at room temperature and is not combustible and does not support combustion.
Hydrogen burns but not support combustion?
Hydrogen does burn in the presence of oxygen, but it does not support combustion like traditional fuels such as gasoline or wood. This is because hydrogen gas burns with an almost invisible flame and does not produce enough heat to sustain a fire.
Which gas supports combustion other than oxygen?
Other gases that can support combustion include hydrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. These gases can act as oxidizers in the absence of oxygen and can sustain a fire by reacting with the fuel in the combustion process.
Can hydrogen support combustion?
Hydrogen is a fuel for combustion, but cannot support it in the manner than oxygen can.
Why only oxygen supports combustion and not hydrogen or nitrogen?
Hydrogen is not electronegative enough to act as a strong oxidizing agent, and the triple bond in the N2 molecule is difficult to break, making the gas largely inert. However, the halogens, particularly fluorine and chlorine can support redox reactions similar to combustion.
Does carbon dioxide gas burn with a pop?
No it doesn't because hydrogen is the only gas that burns with a squeaky pop!
Does hydrogen support combustion?
Yes, hydrogen is highly flammable and supports combustion. When hydrogen comes into contact with oxygen, it ignites and produces a flame.
Can you ignite Neptune?
No, you can't ignite Neptune. While much of Neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen, there is no oxygen there to support combustion.
When hydrogen is burnt what gas is formed?
The combustion of hydrogen produces water: 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O
How do motors on hydrogen cars differ from combustion or hybrid engines?
Like a gas combustion engine, a hydrogen engine relies on the combustion process - in this case, combustion that results when hydrogen is combined with oxygen. Fuel cells in a hydrogen-powered car then convert this mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What is difference between hydrogen combustion and compressed natural gas combustion?
All types of combustions are oxidation reactions.
