Hydrogen gas only exists in the atmosphere in trace amount. The hydrogen in water vapor, which is more abundant, is chemically bound to the oxygen in the molecule and thus require large amounts of energy to extract.

Can you make water by burning hydrogen gas in air?

Yes. Burning hydrogen gas in air produces water vapor.


What is the old name of hydrogen gas?

The old name of hydrogen gas is "inflammable air."


What type of gas was used in zeppelins?

Zeppelins used hydrogen gas as the lifting gas to make them buoyant in the air.

Does hydrogen gas rise in air?

Yes. Hydrogen is a gas, and all gases tend to diffuse. Whether or not air is present is irrelevant.


What is the lightest air?

Hydrogen is the lightest gas found in air.


Is hydrogen gas denser than air?

No, hydrogen gas is less dense than air. This is because hydrogen gas has a lower molecular weight compared to the average molecular weight of gases present in air, which makes it lighter and less dense.


What product is formed when hydrogen burns the air?

When hydrogen burns in air, it forms water (H2O). This is a chemical reaction in which hydrogen gas (H2) reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to produce water vapor.


What is the different between hot air balloons and hydrogen gas balloons?

Hot air balloons are filled with heated air, which expands and has less density than the surrounding air, so that the ballon floats upward -- until it cools back down. Hot air balloons usually carry a stove, to keep heating the air (which rises into the balloon, displacing the cooler air and pushing it out of the ballon -- this is an example of convection). Hydrogen balloons are filled with hydrogen gas, which is much less dense than air, so that it rises -- unless the hydrogen leaks out. Hydrogen is not only difficult to keep from leaking out, but also quite flammable and can explode if there is a spark nearby. Also: Helium balloons work similarly to hydrogen balloons, except that helium is not flammable, it is slightly denser than hydrogen, and it is rare and hard to find on Earth. The sun is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, and the fusion process that makes it radiate comes from transforming hydrogen into helium, with a large release of energy.


Why a balloon filled with hydrogen gas floats in air?

A balloon filled with hydrogen gas floats in air because hydrogen is lighter than air. The buoyant force acting on the balloon is greater than the gravitational force pulling it down, allowing it to float.
