What makes water flamable gas?
Water is actually made from two highly flammable gases; oxygen and hydrogen. Either of them separately will explode. To make water into a flammable gasses, you have to separate the hydrogen and oxygen molecules into their constituent gaseous elements. This is most commonly achieved through a process called hydrolysis. See the related link below for more information about hydrolysis.
Which isotope of hydrogen is present in heavy water?
Deuterium, which is a stable isotope of hydrogen with an extra neutron, is present in heavy water (D2O).
What group of elements are flammable in water?
Alkali metals such as sodium and potassium are known to be flammable in water. When these metals come into contact with water, they react vigorously, producing hydrogen gas which can lead to combustion or even explosions.
Is a pure substance flammable?
Some are flammable and some are not. This depends on the chemical properties of the individual substance. Nonflammable pure substance include helium, water, and gold. Flammable pure substances include hydrogen, hexane, and magnesium.
How much hydrogen is in a cup of water?
There is no molecular hydrogen (H2) naturally present in a cup of water. However, water molecules (H2O) contain two hydrogen atoms per molecule.
What is the combustibility of oxygen hydrogen and water?
Oxygen is not flammable, but it supports the combustion of flammable substances. Fire is just a reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance. Hydrogen is extremely flammable and will burn violently in air to form water vapor. Water is completely non flammable and is often used to extinguish fires.
Is peroxide flammable?
Hydrogen peroxide, which has a boiling point of 150.2 degrees, is non-flammable. Related compounds to Hydrogen peroxide include water, hydrazine and hydrogen disulfide.
Is hydrogen like water?
Not at all. Hydrogen is a very low-density highly flammable gas.
Is hydrogen different from water?
Yes. Hydrogen is an element. It usually exists as a light, highly flammable gas. Water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen that can be produced by burning hydrogen.
Why do the flamable gases in your atmosphere not ignite for example when a nuclear weapon is tested?
Oxygen is required for fire, but it is not itself "flammable". The elements of hydrogen and helium, while flammable, are present in such minute quantities that they are to diffuse in our atmosphere to ignite. Imagine put a thimble of gasoline some how absorbed in a gallon of water. Gasoline is flammable, but mixed in the water is not going to light.

Is hydrogen inflammable?
Absolutely not! It is extremely flammable. Ever heard of the Hindenburg Blimp that blew up? That was because the hydrogen ignited. Also, if hydrogen couldn't ignite, there would be no water because water is formed by combustion.
How many hydrogen atoms are present in a water molecule?
there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in water
Does hydrogen float in water?
if it is less dense than the water, it floats. Water can have different density.
Which isotope of hydrogen is present in heavy water?
Deuterium, which is a stable isotope of hydrogen with an extra neutron, is present in heavy water (D2O).

Does fire extinguisher contain hydrogen?
Not elemental hydrogen, no. That would not work in a fire extinguisher as hydrogen is highly flammable. Some fire extinguishers do use water, however, which is a hydrogen compound.
