Combustion of Hydrogen Gas

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

概述

Hydrogen gas burns in oxygen to produce water with no carbon-containing products. This makes hydrogen the ultimate clean fuel. The reaction produces a very hot, nearly invisible flame. Hydrogen-oxygen mixtures are explosive within a wide flammability range (4-75% H2 in air).

日常示例

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles like the Toyota Mirai emit only water vapor from the tailpipe, as the hydrogen effectively combusts electrochemically.

工业重要性

氢燃烧是清洁能源氢经济的核心。它为火箭发动机(航天飞机主发动机使用液氢/液氧)和燃料电池提供动力。
