Of the elemental gases and under normal conditions, hydrogen is explosive in the presence of air or oxygen. Under normal conditions there are a large number of inorganic and organic compounds that are explosive gases. Methane, CH4, is explosive in the same way hydrogen is, and so it ethane, propane, butane, ....

Gases that are explosive in and of themselves are the various compounds of Nitrogen: NO NO2 N2O2

What happens when Magma with a large amount of dissolved gases tends to be?

When magma with a large amount of dissolved gases reaches the Earth's surface, the gases expand rapidly, causing pressure to build up. This can lead to explosive volcanic eruptions as the built-up pressure is released violently, ejecting magma, gases, and volcanic ash into the air.


Will sparks when cutting a sewer main ignite the gases inside?

YES it can if explosive gases are present. Use a atmospheric testing device to check for LEL (lethal explosive limits) before cutting!!!! If gases are present I suggest you use a vent blower to remove the explosive gases before cutting or even better hire a professional with a license and insurance.


How the composition of magma determines an eruption's characteristics?

Silica(te) rich magma is usually an explosive eruption. The explosiveness of an eruption depends on - a) Gases trapped within the magma at eruption b) The Silica content c) The fragility of the crater walls and/or the volcanic plug.


What are two reasons that magma with a high silica content tend to cause explosive eruptions?

Magma with a high silica content tend to cause explosive eruptions because it has a stiff consistency and blocks the vents. When magma pushes from behind it more pressure happens which means the eruption will be explosive. It also prevents gas and water vapor from getting out. The gases will expand until it explodes.


When magma reaches the surface what happens to the gases?

When magma reaches the surface, the gases dissolved in the magma are released due to the decrease in pressure. This release of gases can lead to explosive volcanic eruptions as the gases expand rapidly and forcefully.

What are the gases used to fly balloons?

Two of the gases that are used to fly balloons are Hydrogen and Helium. Helium is the preferred gas because Hydrogen is very explosive. The Hindenburg disaster was caused by the ignition of the Hydrogen gas that filled it.


How explosive is hydrogen compared to other gases?

Hydrogen is highly explosive compared to other gases because it has a wide flammability range and can ignite easily in the presence of oxygen. It is important to handle hydrogen with caution to prevent accidents.


Are exhaust fumes explosive?

If Car exhaust fumes are mixed with any other gases it can be explosive.Answer:The exhaust from a combustion process generally have all of the combustible materials used up to form carbon dioxide and water. Neither of these are explosive. Like ashes from a fire (which are not combustible) gases of combustion are not explosive.


Why is gunpowder explosive?

gunpowder does not explode. it is very very flammable but since the gunpowder is inside of a cartridge or a shotgun shell the gases from the gunpowder build up inside the cartridge which shoots the projectile out of the cartridge
