You can mix it but it will not stay mixed. Like oil mixed with water, hydrogen is much, much lighter then the rest of the components of air and it will therefore separate out.

Can hydrogen and air mix?

Yes, hydrogen and air can mix. However, hydrogen is highly flammable and when mixed with air in certain concentrations, it can form an explosive mixture. This is why caution is needed when handling and storing hydrogen in the presence of air.


Can you mix air and hydrogen in a tire?

It is not recommended to mix air and hydrogen in a tire. Using hydrogen in tires can be dangerous due to its flammability and potential for explosion. It is best to use the appropriate type of compressed air for inflating tires.


Can oxygen and hydrogen be mixed after separating them from air?

No one obtains hydrogen by separating it from air. There's not enough hydrogen present in air for that to be a viable source. However, it's possible to mix oxygen and hydrogen, yes. It forms a flammable (and explosive, if you get the proportions just right) mixture of gases.


Do astronauts breath hydrogen in space or oxygen or both?

They breathe air, which contains oxygen. They do not breathe hydrogen, as it is a bad idea to mix hydrogen and oxygen unless you intend to create anexplosion.


Why hydrogen cant be collected by the downward displacement of air?

Hydrogen is lighter than air, which is why it rises upwards in the atmosphere. When collected by the downward displacement of air, the denser air prevents the lighter hydrogen from being fully collected as it continues to rise. This method is more effective for gases that are denser than air.


What happens if you mix hydogen with air?

Hydrogen is already a element in the air. So in other words, nothing will happen. +++ That is Not Correct on both counts. Think about it: hydrogen is extremely flammable. Hydrogen is an element, yes, but not a component of the atmosphere, except perhaps in vanishingly tiny quantities. Besides, the question posits a deliberate mixing. Hydrogen burns in air, i.e. combines exothermically with oxygen that IS in the atmosphere, producing water.


Why cant air be considered an element?

Air isn't considered an element because it is made up of several different elements, such as Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, and Carbon.


What happens when hydrogen and helium mix?

Helium is completely inert, it is the most inert of all elements, and so it will not react in any way with hydrogen (or with any other element). So, if you mix hydrogen and helium, nothing happens. You have a mixture of hydrogen and helium. It's a lot lighter than air, you can make balloons that will float. Of course, you can do that with pure hydrogen or with pure helium, as well.


What should you not mix hydrogen peroxide with?

Do not mix hydrogen peroxide with bleach or vinegar, as it can create harmful chemical reactions.
