Best Answer

Water can be split by electrolysis to produce hydrogen and oxygen. if you do this you find you get twice as much hydrogen as oxygen and no other products. if the two gases are combined again by adding a spark, water is produced, again with no other products (apart from a loud BANG if you have a large sample :-)

by introducing a burning splinter in the gas if it put offs with a pop sound then it is hydrogen

Hydrogen is extremely flammable, but it is odorless, colorless, and nearly impossible to detect using most lab instruments. It is used as a carrier gas in many instruments for that reason. There are commercial, off-the-shelf hydrogen gas detectors/alarms though that are used in battery recharging areas where hydrogen gas can accumulate.

Density of Hydrogen?

Gaseous hydrogen has a density of 0.08988 g/cm. Liquid and solid hydrogen have a density of about 0.07 g/ccAt standard temperature and pressure (stp), hydrogen as a gas has density 0.08988 grams per litre. Hydrogen atoms have atomic mass of 1, and diatomic hydrogen molecules have molecular mass of 2. From this we can tell that hydrogen is the lightest (least dense) element in the periodic table.
