Does hydrogen seperate with oxygen?

Question

alright i am still working on an alternative fuel idea and i have a second question... if oxygen is blasted into hydrogen that is about to be burned will that defuse the reaction or with it lessen the effects of the explosion caused by the hydrogen burning ?

Answer 1

maybe you should ask one of the Space Shuttle astronauts, seeing that the big external tank on the Shuttle is filled with oxygen and hydrogen which is burned together. and seeing that the reaction is enough to send the Shuttle into orbit I'd have to say that it doesn't lessen the effect of the explotion.

Answer 2

Check out  Brown gas or Browns gas. Hydrogen like anything else needs an oxidizer to burn, usually oxygen. So the oxygen is needed for combustion.

Technically speaking combustibles do not explode, every thing has a rate at which it burns. Some things like dynamite burn really fast, all the energy bound in it is released very quickly, the term explosion refers to this rapid combustion.
