Can the Hydrogen created while charging a lead acid battery be fed to a combustion engine?
Q. In a Diesel engine LPG is added to boost performance. Could Hydrogen go the same, without expensive equipment? A Hybrid with lead acid batteries would produce more Hydrogen, maybe enough to make a difference.
Asked by Phil R - Mon Sep 24 21:02:16 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Any well-managed battery system will regulate the charging process to avoid generating hydrogen, because this wastes energy and depletes the electrolyte. Given that electric motors are far more efficient than combustion engines, it makes no sense to use electricity to generate hydrogen for fuel in a hybrid system. In any case, the amount of hydrogen produced, even with overcharging, would be too small to be worth building a system to capture and burn.

What percentage of hydrogen peroxide should I use to get black stains off of laminate flooring?
Q. The floor has black patches from cat urine. I know hydrogen peroxide helps in removing most of the black. But what % would be most effective? Anyone who has had this problem and has got rid of atleast most of the black marks using hydrogen peroxide, I would really appreciate your help! Thanks guys :-) Londonsyard
Asked by londonsyard - Tue Aug 18 18:33:02 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The shiny coating of the laminate is beautiful, but, liquids can seep and soak under that coating causing stains to be very hard to remove. I've already used NON acetone nail polish remover to work on permanent marker on laminate flooring. I also had a bucket of water with dish soap ready to wipe up the remover. You may even try a Magic Eraser in a very small area of the stain and see if that wouldn't get it up easier. I'd use the peroxide full strength also. Just have a wet rag ready to wipe it up with.

What is it about the hydrogen atom that allowed it to produce photons of this type?
Q. It was determined that not all of the lines in the hydrogen spectrum were visible. There were some discovered in the ultraviolet range A. Hydrogen has an invisible area from which photons outside the visible range originate. B. Only the hydrogen atoms from the sun emit ultraviolet rays. C. Ultraviolet photons have a longer wavelength, thus more energy. D. Higher energy photons come from transitions between energy levels of greater difference in energy. E. This is known as the ultraviolet catastrophe and never really took place.

What is the strongest evident for hydrogen bonding?
Q. 1. Hydrogen has an extremely low electronegativity. 2. Hydrogen is able to accept or donate electrons, so it is the most versatile atom in the periodic table. 3. Hydrogen can be considered either a metal of nonmetal. 4. The boiling points of NH3, H20, and HF are abnormally high compared with the rest of the hyrides in their respective periods.

A. Ok... this may or may not work, but here's my shot at it. 1.) Cool the bottles of hydrogen and oxygen as cold as you can possibly get them. Gasses take up less volume under low temperatures. 2.) Hydrogen transfer is easy - it's lighter than air, so open the bottle upside-down, put your receptacle against the opening, then flip. The hydrogen will displace the air in the bottle. Oxygen transfer is somewhat more difficult. You may want to start with oxygen - a plastic syringe may be sloppy, but effective. Alternatively, keep your gasses in plastic bottles, put a balloon over the top, and squeeze the gas into the balloon. You can then freeze the balloon, and transfer it into your new bottle. 3.) Warm the bottle as far as you feel… [cont.]

Is it possible to build my own hydrogen-powered car and produce my own hydrogen to power it?
Q. My dad has this idea and wants to start making his own hydrogen using electrolysis and solar panels. With this hydrogen, he wants to power a hydrogen powered engine which he will buy separately and put in a car. He wants to start a business this way and sell these hydrogen powered cars and use the hydrogen he produces to power his own car. I am trying to convince him that it won't work but I'm not too sure on the reasons why. Can you even buy hydrogen-powered engines? How dangerous would this be? Could enough hydrogen be produced using electrolysis powered by solar panels and how would this be stored and put in a car? What are the chances of it working even if it is possible?

I have studies the issue and texts as it seems interesting and got to the following conclusion: In theory this is indeed possible. One day it will be accomplished, just maybe not the way we imagine today. The only real problem is that it takes energy to separate water molecules to make it's energy available. So you would need an extra energy source to make the system work.

A. they work together. The powder would do nothing by itself, except maybe make you itch. The peroxide would slowly lighten your hair over time if you put it in over time, but it's not balanced for a stop process like this and causes sooo much damage and often a chemical cut because without the ingredients in the powder for it to grab on to it never fully gets washed out of your hair.

A. Where do you think the hydrogen will come from? The most economical way to produce hydrogen would be using acid on metal, however, that is not exactly an environmentally friendly way to make it. The way to make it in large quantities is to electrically produce it from water. That requires a lot of electricity. That electricity has to come from somewhere. The energy companies will provide that electricity. To deal with the increased demand they will probably have to burn more fuels. They might make more money.

And if you go all the way through you end up with no water and only hydrogen and oxygen. Although its theoretically not possible as pure water isn't conducting so acid has to be added to serve as an electrolyte.

Why does Hydrogen explode when placed in a can with two holes, on the top and bottom?
Q. A Pringles can filled with hydrogen with two small holes at the top and bottom is placed on a table so that hydrogen is exiting the top, but not the bottom, and then the hydrogen is lit on fire causing a loud pop, and the can is launched in the air. What is the scientific explanation for this, preferably using stoichiometric proportions?
Asked by Mooblez - Tue Feb 5 18:55:21 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O. The pop you heard was the explosive formation of water (vapor). The reaction cannot take place unless there is sufficient O2 available. When you first light the H2, it burns above the can - in O2. As the pressure of H2 in the can decreases, O2 from the air enters thru the other hole. When there is sufficient O2 inside the can = boom!

Q. A rubber balloon was inflated with hydrogen gas. In a few hours, the balloon was observed to be practically deflated. What has happened? Remember the pressure inside the balloon is equal to the atmospheric pressure. I think it is that hydrogen is lighter than the air outside the balloon which causes the hydrogen to become diffused out of the balloon more quickly. Is that even remotely correct?

A. It isn't likely to bubble as much Hydrogen Peroxide is H2O2... there's an extra oxygen attached to a water molecule. It's that extra oxygen that causes the bubbling action. It isn't very stable and the oxygen atom likes to jump off, making gaseous oxygen and plain water. The hydrogen peroxide you get in the store isn't pure H2O2, it usually has some water in it... old hydrogen peroxide will just be less strong than new hydrogen peroxide.

A. Hydrogen bonding refers to attractions between the hydrogen in one molecule and the anion in another molecule, such as the hydrogen bonding between molecules of water. It's not a chemical bond within a molecule. Covalent bonding occurs within the molecule when the two (or more) bonded atoms share the electrons between them. Again, water is an example of covalent bonding.
