What lighter than air gas was once used to power airships in cause the Hindenburg disaster?
The gas was Hydrogen.
What was the Hindenburg that exploded over Lakehurst May 6 1937?
It was a dirigible- a lighter-than-air airship with a rigid frame. It was lighter than air since it was filled with hydrogen gas. Unfortunately hydrogen is also extremely flammable.
What is the name of the gas used in gas sterilization?
Formaldehyde Ethylene oxide Betapropiolactone
How did the Hindenburg stay in the air?
The gas bags of the Hindenberg were filled with Hydrogen gas. Hydrogen is lighter than air, the same way air is lighter than water. The Hydrogen filled "balloon" floated on the air just as one filled with air would float on water. By letting out gas or replacing it from tanks of compressed Hydrogen, they could control the trim and buoyancy of the airship. Unfortunately, Hydrogen is highly flammable when mixed with air, as we all know from what happened to Hindenberg. Although there are ways to avoid disasters such as the one that befell it, people were afraid and that was, effectively, the end of lighter-than-air transportation for commercial purposes.
How was oil and gas made in ancient times?
It was not made. They did not use gas or oil back then. Oil which seeped out at the surface ( more like tar as the gas and lighter part would dissipate into the atmosphere) was used. Crude oil, natural gas, and coal are made when biological material (usually algae) is buried beneath the surface of the earth and slowly cooked under the pressure of the earth above. This process can be observed today at the bottom of the oceans where algae flourish. If you are referring to how it was used - then it was a rare commodity, but the Chinese used it for heating, and the Zoroastrians believed it to be a way of communing with spirits; that is when natural gas seeped from the earth and caught fire. Spirits were said to be whispering in the flames.
Which gas is used for cigerate lighter?
Butane
What are important facts about helium?
helium is used in gas ballons .it is the lighter gas
Why helium is used in wheather balloons?
because helium gas is lighter
What gas comes out of a butane lighter?
Butane gas is what comes out of a butane lighter when it is ignited. It is a highly flammable gas commonly used as fuel in lighters due to its ability to produce a hot flame.
What lighter than air gas was once used to power airships in cause the Hindenburg disaster?
The gas was Hydrogen.
A basic gas lighter than air?
Hydrogen gas is a basic gas that is lighter than air. It is commonly used in weather balloons and airships due to its buoyant properties. However, it is highly flammable and must be handled with caution.
How have you used the properties of gas in regards to an hot air balloon?
It is lighter than air
Is lighter fuel petrol?
It may be (Butane is a gas, Naphtha is a liquid), but alcohol is also used.
Which gas is found in airships and helps them to float?
Helium is used because it is lighter than air
What gas is used in the goodyear blimp?
Helium, a lighter than air gas, is used for buoyancy in the Goodyear Blimp. Hydrogen has not been used for many decades because of the explosive danger.
What is the gas used to fill balloons to make them airborne?
Any Gas with a lower density than 1.2kg/m^3 will make a balloon rise. However I think you are talking about helium. Gases that are lighter than air like Hydrogen etc Helium Is the lighter than air gas that is used to fill party balloon's it is an inert gas, that is it doesn't burn unlike Hydrogen which is the gas that was used in the Hindenburg air ship.
Helium is a gas which is used in balloons because it is lighter than air.But hydrogen is a gas which is even lighter than the helium.Why helium is used rather than the hydrogen?
Because Hydrogen is highly flammable, and will easily and rapidly burn in the air and turn into H2O (water).
