Actually Hydrogen is not normally transported as a liquid because in is considered far too dangerous, hydrogen is transported in high pressure gas cylinders, packs of cylinders (10 or more in a secure steel frame) or on specially built bulk high pressure cylinder trailers, always in gas form. Only on very rare occaisions is hydrogen transported as liquid, one example would be the Space Shuttle which carries liquid hydrogen as part of its fuel load.

Why is the shuttle run anaerobic?

The shuttle run is anaerobic because it involves short bursts of high-intensity exercise that rely on stored energy sources in the muscles, rather than relying on oxygen for energy production. This type of exercise quickly depletes the body's oxygen supply, leading to the buildup of lactic acid and fatigue.


In liquid water does the hydrogen atoms slide past the oxygen atoms easily?

No, because the hydrogen atoms are slightly positive and the oxygen is slightly negative they are attracted to each other by something called hydrogen bonds. It actually gives the water a sticky quality called cohesion.


What does the number 2 in the formula H2O tell you that each unit of this compound contains two hydrogen or oxygen atoms?

The number 2 in the formula H2O indicates that each molecule of water contains two hydrogen atoms. It does not imply that there are two oxygen atoms; rather, there is one oxygen atom in each water molecule. Therefore, H2O consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, which together form the water compound.


What causes water to be more polar molecule?

Because of the way the hydrogens bond to the oxygen in water, the molecular geometry is a bent or angular shape, and the oxygen has 2 lone pairs of electrons. This makes the oxygen part of the water molecule rather negative relative to the hydrogen part of the molecule, which is rather positive. Thus, there is a separation of charge, and this is what makes the water molecule so polar.


What enzyme filled sac is found in the liver and produces hydrogen peroxide?

Peroxisomes are the enzyme-filled sacs found in the liver that produce hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct of their metabolic functions. Hydrogen peroxide is then broken down by the peroxisome's enzymes to prevent cellular damage.

Is hydrogen oxygen ionic or covalent?

The bond between hydrogen and oxygen is covalent.


Do hydrogen and oxygen have to be in liquid form to make water?

No, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen would be rather explosive and in fact has been used for rocket fuel. Alternate answer: No, while water is comprised of Hydrogen and Oxygen, the two usually combine when in a gaseous form.


Is oxygen and hydrogen a ionic bond?

No, oxygen and hydrogen do not form an ionic bond. When oxygen and hydrogen bond to form water, they share electrons in a covalent bond, where electrons are shared between the atoms rather than transferred.


What is the charge of hydrogen peroxide?

As H2O2 it is uncharged , but rather unstable., and will slowly decompose to water and oxygen.


Does the air have carbon hydrogen and oxygen?

Yes, air contains a mixture of gases, including oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and traces of other gases. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are not typically found in their elemental forms in air, but rather as components of the various gases present in the atmosphere.


Is water a molecule or a ionic compound?

Water is a molecule composed of covalently bonded hydrogen and oxygen atoms. It is not an ionic compound because the hydrogen and oxygen atoms within water share electrons rather than transferring them.


Is oxygen a vapour or not?

Oxygen is a gas at room temperature and pressure. When oxygen is in its gaseous state, we refer to it as a gas rather than a vapor. Vapors typically refer to the gaseous state of substances that are typically liquids or solids at room temperature.

How does a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen differ from hydrogen and oxygen?

When hydrogen and oxygen are kindled in the right quantities, then we mostly don't call the product a mixture. Rather we call it a compound. The most usual compound of hydrogen and oxygen is water. Its not important that the compound should have the properties of its constituting elements. If we that water as an example, then we all know that water is a non supporter of combustion whereas hydrogen and oxygen are highly inflammable gases.


Is energy in water from hydrogen molecules?

No. The hydrogen and oxygen in water are combined into a single substance; it does not get one property from hydrogen or another from oxygen but rather has its own unique set of properties based on how they are combined. It is unclear what "energy" you are referring to.


Is a sugar a chemical change?

Sugar is a chemical compound or rather a group of compounds containing carbon oxygen and hydrogen, not a chemical change.
