In a bottle of hydrogen and oxygen the two elements are intermingled but remain chemically separate and distinct. You have H2 molecules and O2 molecules in the same general space.

In a bottle of water the hydrogen and oxygen are combined into a single substance, forming molecules of H2O.

What is the biggest gas hydrogen helium and water vapor besides oxygen?

The biggest gas among hydrogen, helium, and water vapor, besides oxygen, is water vapor. Water vapor is the gaseous form of water and can exist in significant amounts in the Earth's atmosphere. Hydrogen and helium are lighter gases and typically exist in smaller quantities in the atmosphere compared to water vapor.


Increasing hydrogen bonding has what effect on vapor pressure of water?

Increasing hydrogen bonding in water leads to a decrease in vapor pressure. Stronger hydrogen bonds require more energy to break, making it harder for water molecules to escape into the vapor phase. As a result, fewer molecules enter the vapor phase at a given temperature, resulting in lower vapor pressure. This is why water has a relatively low vapor pressure compared to other liquids.


Can you make water by burning hydrogen gas in air?

Yes. Burning hydrogen gas in air produces water vapor.


Water vapor and air inside an aluminum container are heated to a high temperature The container is then submerged in ice cold water Why does the aluminum container collapse?

When water is heated, water vapor forces the air out. When submerged in cold water, the water vapor condenses instantly, leaving a partial vacuum in the can, Atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi) acting on the outside of the can crushes the can before air can rush through the opening in the can to balance the pressure. Fun science experiment, just be careful not to get burned.


Chemical equation for hydrogen to water vapor?

The chemical equation for hydrogen to water vapor is not possible as stated. In order for hydrogen to form water in any physical state, it must combine with oxygen. The following are the word equation and the chemical equation for hydrogen and oxygen combining to form water. Hydrogen gas plus oxygen gas produces water. 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

How is a container of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas different form a container of watervapor?

A container of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas contains separate molecules of H2 and O2, while a container of water vapor contains H2O molecules. The hydrogen gas and oxygen gas in the first container can react to form water vapor under certain conditions.


If you have a container with hydrogen gas and oxygen gas what do you have?

You have a mixture that can be easily ignited to form water vapor.


Is water vapor and hydorgen the some?

No, water vapor is still H2O, a compound of hydrogen an oxygen. Hydrogen gas is H2, and element with very different chemical and physical properties, chief among them being that hydrogen is highly flammable.


Is water vapor the same as hydrogen?

No, water vapor is a gas formed when water evaporates, while hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. Water vapor is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, while hydrogen exists as individual hydrogen molecules.


The addition of water vapor as the air passes?

Water in a container consists of liquid in the container and water vapor above the container. As the air passes, it carries off the water vapor above the water and the water in the container replenishes it. Moving air blows water vapor away much faster than still air. As a result, a plate with water in it will dry faster if air is blowing on it than a plate will if no air is blowing on it.


Is water vapor a compound or an element?

Water vapor is a compound. It is made up of two different elements, hydrogen and oxygen, bonded together to form the compound H2O in gaseous form.


What is the biggest gas hydrogen helium and water vapor besides oxygen?

The biggest gas among hydrogen, helium, and water vapor, besides oxygen, is water vapor. Water vapor is the gaseous form of water and can exist in significant amounts in the Earth's atmosphere. Hydrogen and helium are lighter gases and typically exist in smaller quantities in the atmosphere compared to water vapor.


What does hydrogen transform into when burned?

When hydrogen is burned, it transforms into water vapor.


What does hydrogen transform into when it is burned?

When hydrogen is burned, it transforms into water vapor.


Is their any way to trap hydrogen in a different container after separating a water molecule?

The hydrogen can be "trapped" as H2(g), hydrogen gas. You cannot trap just H.


If hydrogen and oxygen is in a container does it create water?

Not unless a small amount of energy (e.g. an electric spark) is added to ignite the mixture, then the reaction explosivelyproduces hot water vapor (i.e. steam).


What changes take place when water is left in an open container in a closed container?

When water is left in an open container, it can evaporate due to exposure to air. In a closed container, the water vapor will eventually reach equilibrium with the liquid water, leading to increased humidity inside the container. If the container is completely sealed, no water vapor can escape, leading to a buildup of humidity over time.
