Hydrogen
Hydrogen is a tasteless, odorless, colorless gas. Hydrogen is found in group 1 and period 1 on the periodic table. Hydrogen is classified as a nonmetal on the periodic table. The symbol for hydrogen is represented by an H, its atomic number is 1, and its atomic weight is 1.0079. The hydrogen atom consists of one proton, which has a positive charge, and one electron, which has a negative charge. The term hydrogen comes from two Greek words meaning water-former. Henry Cavendish, an English scientist, discovered it in 1766. Named by Lavoisier, hydrogen is the most abundant of all elements in the universe. The sun and many other stars consist of mostly hydrogen. It is the third most abundant element on earth. It is estimated that

Hydrogen gas is only slightly soluble in water. It is not poisonous. Hydrogen has three isotopes called protium, deuterium, and tritium. Tritium is radioactive and has been uses in the hydrogen bomb. In the laboratory, hydrogen can be produced by the electrolysis of water. Hydrogen combines directly with several of the most active elements, but most hydrogen compounds are made by indirect methods. Mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen explode violently when ignited by a spark. When there is air or oxygen with hydrogen’s presence, hydrogen burns with a hot flame and forms water. Chlorine burns in hydrogen and forms a colorless gas called HCl. Ammonia, whose symbol is NH3, is made by combining hydrogen and nitrogen. Other hydrogen compounds prepared indirectly include hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), acetic acid (CH3COOH), and ethyl alcohol (C2H2OH). Hydrogen also combines directly with a variety of compounds. In the presence of a catalyst at high temperature and pressure, hydrogen combines with carbon monoxide to form methanol or wood alcohol (CH3OH). Hydrogen also unites with liquid fats to form solid fats through a process called hydrogenation. Many hydrogen compounds, such as ammonia, ethyl alcohol, and hydrogen peroxide, have extensive industrial uses. Hydrogen is also a good reducing agent and is used to recover some metals from their compounds. Hydrogen’s ability to produce heat when united with oxygen makes it a good fuel or fuel enhancer.

Helium (Greek helios,"sun"), symbol He, inert, colorless, odorless gas element. In group 18 of the periodic table, helium is one of the noble gases. The atomic number of helium is 2.
Experiments 2-1 and 2-2 study the production of hydrogen gas by different chemical reactions. By using a hydrogen gas collection apparatus and the principles of chemistry, we were able to evaluate the data and reach our goal. Experiment 2-1 uses zinc, magnesium and aluminum and how much hydrogen gas they produce to predict the volume of hydrogen gas produced for different masses of each metal. In this experiment we see that each metal has an increasing amount of hydrogen gas as mass goes up, however each metal had different amount of hydrogen gas for the same mass. Zinc produced the least amount of hydrogen gas, then increasing with magnesium, and aluminum produced the highest amount. The
Introduction: The concentration of Hydrogen Ions in a substance is its pH. Hydrogen Ions (H+), and Hydroxide Ions (OH-) are formed when an electron jumps from one H2O atom to another. When a Hydrogen Ion is in an aqueous solution (a solutions with water as the solvent) it bond with an H2O atom creating H3O also known as Hydronium. A substance with more Hydrogen Ions than Hydroxide Ion is called a base. A substance with more Hydroxide Ions than Hydrogen Ions is called an acid. This can be seen on the pH scale below (Figure 1). A pH scale shows the number of Hydrogen
Answer = take samples of oxygen levels in several ponds and lakes, also using sonar track the number of fish present at different levels of oxygen. From zero up
While reading through I came across this in the article: "Many politicians and others in the public office do not consider dihydrogen minoxide to be a politically beneficial cause to get behind so the public suffers the lack of reliable information..." If diydrogen minoxide was so "dangerous" don't you think it would be more open to the public and everyone would know about it? It amuses me because if it is in baby food and other food and drinks wouldn't it be all over the news and make people take precautions not to buy them? If that were the cause wouldn't people be severely sick or even dead by now? We would be aware of all of this and take some sort of action to protect everyone's health and safety. At the beginning was starting t get
Hydrogen was first found in later 16th century but it was not confirmed as a kind of chemical element by Henry Cavendish before 1766. It is a chemical element with symbol H and atomic number 1. That means it is the first one on the periodic table and each atom just has one proton and one electron.And with a standard atomic weight of 1.008, hydrogen is the lightest element on the periodic table. In addition ,it is the most abundant chemical substance in the Universe, constituting roughly 75% of all baryonic mass. On Earth,most of hydrogen exists in molecular forms such as water or organic compounds
Genetic testing has found various genes in which a mutation can occur to cause SCID. These genes include the JAK3, IL7R, ADA, RAG1, RAG2, DCLRE1C, LIG4, and IL2RG genes. (Lebet et al. 2008) The cytogenic locations of these genes in the order that they are presented above are as follows: 19p13.11 (NIH Genetics Home Reference, 2017e), 5p13.2 (NIH Genetics Home Reference, 2017d), 20q13.12 (NIH Genetics Home Reference, 2017a), 11p12 (NIH Genetics Home Reference, 2017g), 11p12 (NIH Genetics Home Reference, 2017h), 10p13 (NIH Genetics Home Reference, 2017b), 13q33.3 (NIH Genetics Home Reference, 2017f), and Xq13.1 (NIH Genetics Home Reference, 2017c). The greatest number of SCID cases are caused by a mutation of the IL2RG gene. X-linked SCID is
Though there are over a hundred different elements, each one is unique in its complexity and properties. Helium has an atomic Number of two, that’s how you can tell it it has two positively charged atoms, or ‘protons’, in
Currently, hydrogen is generated from fossil fuels by the steam reforming of methane or natural gas. At extremely high temperatures from between 700-1100℃, steam water reacts with methane in an endothermic reaction to yield syngas (synthesis gas), which is a fuel gas mixture consisting primarily of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
With proper handling, hydrogen is as safe as any other fuels such as gasoline, diesel or natural gas – and in some instances even safer. For decades, codes and standard of handling hydrogen have been implemented and safe system designs have been developed. Now hydrogen is produced, shipped, distributed and used safely worldwide for the use in everything from welding to hydrogenated peanut butter. Over 50 million tonnes of hydrogen are produced annually worldwide. Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, and it’s also the lightest. This means that if there is a leak in a storage tank, the hydrogen rises and diffuses quickly into non-flammable
Helium, a noble gas, is the second most abundant element in the universe. It was discovered on the sun before it was found on earth by French astronomer Pierre-Jules-Cesar Janssen in 1868. Helium received its name from the Greek word for sun, helios. Even though helium is so abundant throughout the universe it is relatively rare on Earth.
The search for a renewable energy source has been a top priority to us a human race in the past decade. Many ideas have come in the form of wind, solar, and nuclear power, all having their own drawbacks. But, the one that will be focused upon in this analysis is hydrogen as a source of fuel, and the technology leading the way to making it a reality. This technology would affect everyone in one way or another if correctly used. So we must ask if this technology is beneficial to us, how it might hurt us, and whether it is worth pursuing from an ethical stance.
Many studies related to gas hydrate occurrences worldwide has been reported mainly to better characterize reservoirs, theirs potential as energy resource and the role gas hydrate can play in global climate change (Kennett et al. 2003; Milkov, 2004). Concerning the former, large amounts of methane gas can be trapped in form of gas hydrate (Milkov, 2004), being considered as an important greenhouse gas. It is estimated that over a 20-year period, one ton of methane has a global warming potential 84 to 87 times greater than carbon dioxide and over a century, this warming potential is 28 to 36 times greater according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014). For these reasons in the last decades several projects have been carried out to assess the global methane hydrate quantities. The estimation of the global methane reservoir have decreased while the knowledge about hydrate reservoirs have increased; in fact Kvenvolden (2000) estimated 11 000 Gt of carbon in hydrate, while the last estimation ranges from 500 to 2 500 Gt of natural carbon (Milkov, 2004). Despite this decreasing, gas hydrate reservors still play an important role in the global carbon cycle.
Recent years have shown an increasingly large need for a practical renewable energy source for such reasons as diminishing fossil fuels and increases in greenhouse gasses. Hydrogen appears to be a way out of this gasoline-dug hole, or at least, a way out in the future. Hydrogen fuel cell cars are being engineered as we speak as the technologies to refuel them cleanly are being proposed. Unfortunately, most of the technologies associated with hydrogen are still in the prototype/pre-production stages and require better enhancements before becoming mainstream. This paper assesses the practicality of hydrogen power in cars both now and in the future while explicating the actual process of how a
