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.

What is the word equation for the reaction that takes place when hydrogen burns in the air?
When hydrogen burns in air, it combines with atmospheric oxygen to form water. Since hydrogen and oxygen are undergoing a chemical change to become chemically bonded together producing H2O the change is chemical in nature.
What is the contribution of Henry Cavendish?
Henry Cavendish was a British scientist born on October 10, 1731. He is credited with discovering hydrogen, which he called inflammable air.
Which two properties of a sound wave change when a sound gets louder?
It was when the air hit the wave and it move to another direction
How does air pollution irritate your eyes?
(i) Polluted air contains hydrogen sulphate that affects living tissues. (ii) As the polluted air touches aques chaber in our eye, it may cause dizziness and blindness.
What is lighter than hydrogen?
No element is lighter than hydrogen. Not even stripping the electron off a hydrogen atom would make a lighter item, because electrons have almost no mass and the proton would just grab it back anyway.
How do you know hydrogen is there in the air?
First take test tube (an empty test tube) hydrogen is colorless ,tasteless and odorless. (it is also very light that why weather balloons are filled with hydrogen). Then put a burning splint at the mouth of the test tube and you know that there is hydrogen in the air because hydrogen burns with a pop when it is mixed with air so now you know that there is hydrogen in the air.
Why can't you mix hydrogen and air?
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.
What happens to burning matches when placed in a jar of hydrogen?
If you can introduce the burning match into the jar of hydrogen without contact with air, it will go out, but in practice this is impossible. Hydrogen diffuses so rapidly, that the instant you take the lid off and put the match at the mouth of the jar, the hydrogen will burn. If you are really quick it will make a dull bang, because the hydrogen will only burn as it meets the air. If you are a little slower, the bang will be louder and squeaky, because the hydrogen will have mixed with air and will burn faster.
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.
Is hydrogen flame able?
Yes. Explosive when mixed with oxygen or fluorine and even chlorine gas. Hydrogen is flammable. It burns in air or oxygen.
Is sound louder in water or air?
sound is louder in air because it travels and when you are in water you can hear but it is faint because the water in you ears
Who first who discovered hydrogen?
The person who realized hydrogen was a discrete substance, different from ordinary air, was Henry Cavendish, in 1766. Robert Boyle was the first person to describe generating hydrogen, in 1671, but he did not know it was different from air.
How do you make the trombone louder?
Blow more air. It's hard at first, but you'll get better over time.
How many times louder is an air raid siren than a lorry?
8 times louder
How are coffee and air alike?
Coffee and air are mixed, but the coffee is heterogeneous, and the air is uniform and both have many substances in their chemical composition, the two have water, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen, but in different molecular ways.
Is sound louder and clearer when it travels through water?
No,sound is louder and clearer when it travels through air.
How do you feel when you breath in air mixed with smoke?
