Liquid oxygen and liquid Hydrogen. Very explosive!
liquid oxygen is in effect more explosive than tnt, but by means they are different. liquid oxygen is not explosive at all without the other chemicals, where all tnt needs is heat, making tnt easier to use. also, one must the fact that tnt is more practical in that it is easier to come by. so, if you put the same effort into aquiring them both, you would end up with enough tnt to make a larger explosion than the one made by the amount of liquid oxygen you would aquire.
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.
Volatile explosive fuels such as hydrazine cannot be exposed to oxygen or chemicals containing oxygen, or they may burn or explode. Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen have to be kept extremely cold or they will revert to gaseous form with a tremendous pressure. The storage tanks and onboard fuel tanks are highly insulated to keep out heat.
Potassium chlorate contains oxygen atoms. These allow the sugar in the Gummi Bear to burn.
In general gasoline is not more explosive then gas although it depends on the conditions and the gas. Probably you are referring to natural gas, the gas piped into homes which is predominantly methane. In general flammable gasses are more explosive than flammable liquids because they are mixed up with atmospheric oxygen. This is why modern cars have fuel injection which sprays the petrol to make it more easily combustible. In fact liquid petrol is not explosive at all but because it is volatile a layer of vapour forms above the surface of the liquid which is explosive. The mix of fuel and oxygen is the critical factor in whether something is explosive. Some gases, such as the noble gases are not flammable at all.
The reaction may be very explosive.
For the TEMPORARY transport of portable medical oxygen containers it is permitted. However (in the US) bottled Oxygen is considered an explosive danger (oxygen itself is not explosive but exposed to flame the rapid accelerant nature of oxygen is an explosive reaction). It would be foohardy at best and reckless at worst to make this a regular practice.
its a gas
Oxygen in and of itself is not flammable. Rather it supports the combustion of flammable materials.
liquid hydrogen is cheaper than liquid oxygen
Any fire or explosive need oxygen to burn but with explosives the oxygen is in the molecule and it reacts with itself. Fuels need external oxygen to cause a explosion. The chemical reaction varies depending on what compound were used to prepare the explosive normally a nitrate (NO, providing the oxygen) and carbon (C, as the fuel).
