The hydrogen is formed using the method of downward displacement of water and zinc and sulfuric acid.

It is water (H2O).
It results from the oxidation of the hydrogen gas by the oxygen in the air under the heat of the flame.

No compounds are formed. Unless oxygen is added to the bottle, (which is likely since the hydrogen is lighter than air and would be displaced by air) nothing happens. Hydrogen does not burn without oxygen, so combustion is not supported. If oxygen does get into the bottle, it forms a combustible mixture, which will produce water and heat, if the amounts of hydrogen and oxygen are proportionally correct. If not, carbon compounds make up the difference, due to their presence in the air.
But pure hydrogen doesn't burn. I believe that is your question.

Well let me see during combustion you combine oxygen with hydrogen and each oxygen grabs two hydrogens to balance out the charges so that would mean you get H 2 O... WATER!
Duh!

burnign the H2 is just like reacting it with O2
2H2 + O2 ---. 2H2O
best answer?
