It is much easier to control the hydrogen

and oxygen during direct combustion than

during their reaction in a fuel cell.

Can a combustion reaction produce hydrogen?

No. If anything, a combustion reaction will consume hydrogen.


When copper burns why doesn't it produce hydrogen?

Because burning (combustion) is an oxidation reaction and hydrogen is not implied.


What type of reaction occurs when between hydrogen and oxygen to produce water?

combustion and combination


Are glow sticks an example of a combustion reaction?

No, a combustion reaction is where a chemical reacts with oxygen to produce an oxide and lots of heat. Glow sticks use a a kind of reaction chemiluminescence. The reactions often involve oxygen particularly hydrogen peroxide, but they are not combustion reactions and typically produce little to no heat


Does hydrogen combustion produce carbon?

No, burning hydrogen produces only water, it does not produce carbon or carbon dioxide.


How do hydrogen and oxygen combine-into water?

Hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water through a chemical reaction called a combustion reaction. In this reaction, hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2) react to produce water (H2O) and release heat energy. The reaction releases a large amount of energy, making it a key process in fuel combustion.


What type of reaction is taking place when Butane burns to produce a flame?

The combustion of butane to produce a flame is a chemical reaction known as a combustion reaction. In this reaction, butane reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat energy.


Why the formation of water can be classified as a synthesis combustion or oxidation-reduction reaction?

The formation of water can be classified as a combustion reaction because hydrogen is heated in oxygen, and it is considered a synthesis reaction because two elements - hydrogen and oxygen - combine to form 1 compound - water.


Is hydrogen hot or cold?

Hydrogen gas itself does not have a specific temperature since it depends on its surroundings. If hydrogen is burned or in a combustion reaction, it can produce heat and be hot. However, in its natural gaseous state, it does not have a specific temperature.


What happens during the combustion of hydrogen.?

During the combustion of hydrogen, hydrogen gas (H₂) reacts with oxygen (O₂) in the presence of heat to produce water (H₂O) as the primary product. This reaction releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and light, making it an exothermic process. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O. Additionally, the combustion of hydrogen produces no carbon emissions, making it a clean energy source.


How do you distinguish between hydrogen and oxygen when burning?

Hydrogen burns with a pale blue flame, while oxygen does not burn on its own. In a combustion reaction with hydrogen, oxygen will support the combustion process by reacting with the hydrogen to produce water vapor.


What is the formula for the chemical reaction for oxygen and hydrogen?

2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O - reaction to produce water H2+O2-> H2O2 - reaction to produce hydrogen peroxide
