Why does hydrogen pop louder when lit if it is first mixed with air?
The pop you hears is a result of the hydrogen reaction with oxygen. When it is mixed with air, all of the hydrogen is readily in contact with oxygen, and the reaction can proceed much more rapidly.
A substances ability to burn is an example of what?
The substance is said to be either flammable, inflammable, combustible.
Why is rusting a chemical change?
Rusting is a reaction which combines molecules to form other molecules: metal + oxygen -> rust. The definition of a chemical reaction is molecules turning into other molecules, so rusting is a chemical reaction.
What type of energy does a fire use?
Chemical potential energy. Fire is a chemical reaction caused by heat Fuel and oxygen (usually) The fuel is combusted exothermically (ie giving off heat) with oxygen which is a chemical reaction. This causes surrounding fuel to heat up a react exothermically with the oxygen, propagating the fire.
Does combustion occur when lighting a match in the air?
Yes, combustion is simply the chemical reaction of a substance with oxygen molecules. In this case the match and match head are reacting with the ocygen int he air.
The type of chemical reaction that occurs whenever a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen?
It depends upon what you mean. H2O contains oxygen and alkali metals react explosively with it. Also, burning is formally called oxidation. Both happen rapidly and I hope I answered your intended question.
What is the burning substance of a substance?
Burning is an oxidation reaction - a reaction with oxygen.
What simple test might be undertaken to check if a chemical reaction produces oxygen?
glowing splint ... if it relights then the chemical reaction produces oxygen.
What is the rapid burning of fuels that takes place in engines is called?
The reaction between oxygen and another substance is called oxidation, such as the formation of rust. The rapid oxidation of fuel is called combustion.
What is the difference between lava and fire?
Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance that produces heat and light. Lava is molten rock that has reached Earth's surface from a volcano.
Name a gas released as by product of the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
Oxygen is released as a by product of photosynthesis.
How is combustion made?
To combustion is to undergo combustion. Combustion is a process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give heat and light.What are always the two products of a combustion reaction?A combustion reaction is when all substances in a compound are combined with oxygen, which then produces carbon dioxide and water.
Explain what is combustion?
Did you mean combustion? Combustion is the chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant which will produce heat. Ex: a camp-fire is a combustion, the gas being burned in the engine of your car is also.
What is a combustion reaction?
Any rxn that is (generally) and organic molecule + O2 -> H2O + CO2 Thats just generally what it looks like.
What is oxygen in a chemical change that produces water?
The reaction between oxygen and hydrogen produce water.
What is A reaction between a substance and oxygen?
and nitrogen causes h2o
What substance produces anaerobic energy by burning?
Glucose is the substance that produces anaerobic energy by burning. This will cause oxidation and it also leaves an oxygen debt.
