HYDROGEN
Respond to this post with information about hydrogen energy.
Because hydrogen doesn't exist on Earth as a gas, it must be separated from other elements. Hydrogen atoms can be separated from water, biomass, or natural gas molecules.
A hydrogen atom consists of one proton and one electron. A fuel cell is combined with hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water. Hydrogen is the most plentiful gas in the world.
Hydrogen energy is produced by gathered hydrogen compressed in canisters, which can be used to power automobiles, homes, and many more. However, hydrogen is a very dangerous element to use.
Hydrogen is found in many different organic compounds that make up many fuels we use nowadays such as gasoline and propane. Hydrogen can be split from hydrocarbons through a process using heat known as reforming. (:
Hydrogen is estimated to make up more than ninety percent of all atoms. This element is found in the stars, and plays an important part in powering the universe.
About 9 million metric tons of hydrogen energy is produced in the United States every year. Most of this energy is made in California, Texas, and Louisiana.
Hydrogen, manufactured locally using water, wind and sun, is a secure, inexhaustible, emission-free fuel for consumer electronics, heat and electricity production, and the next generation of highway vehicles.
Hydrogen is the simplest element. Each atom of hydrogen has only one proton. It is also the most plentiful gas in the universe. Stars like the sun are made primarily of hydrogen.
Hydrogen is an energy carrier. It has to be produced from another type of substance. Hydrogen can be produced by fossil fuels, water ,and biomass. Steam reforming and electrolysis are ways of producing hydrogen.
Hydrogen energy is one of the more complicated, and less common way of getting energy. It is not as effective as solar, wind, or hydro, but it is still promising and is one of the more futuristic ways of being able to get energy. They predict in the future it will be a very common, very effective and easy to get form of energy.
Hydrogen systems used to be very, very large. Now, scientists are developing them to be compact enough to fit in cars. The hydrogen comes in canisters. The canisters are interconnected by tubing.
Vehicles today can use hydrogen mixed with gasoline or diesel fuel and that gives you many benefits of the fuel cell without the purchase of a new car.
The sun is basically a giant ball of hydrogen and helium gases. In the sun's core, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms. This process — called fusion — gives off radiant energy.
Hydrogen was first recognized as a distinct element by Henry Cavendish in 1766, when he prepared it by reacting hydrochloric acid with zinc. He described hydrogen as "inflammable air from metals" and established that it was the same material (by its reactions and its density) regardless of which metal and which acid he had used to produce it.(

ReplyDeleteA hydrogen atom consists of one proton and one electron. A fuel cell is combined with hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water. Hydrogen is the most plentiful gas in the world.
ReplyDeleteMost of the hydrogen created today is made by the process of steam reforming, or as a byproduct of petroleum refining.
