Exploding gas?

Question

Is there such gas that explodes or cathes fire with air? I know that acetylene explodes when highly pressurised

Answer 1

A volatile substance may have sufficient vapour pressure to form flammable or even explosive mixtures with air in temperatures as low as –10 °C, so ignition of a gas such as Acetone can occur in the air. to control the potentially explosive gas or vapour you need the use of sweep gas, an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon to dilute the explosive gas before coming in contact with air. but other than the temperature being a limiting factor the answer to your question is yes! hope this is of some help.

Answer 2

the ozone O3 explodes in contact with any organic substance don,t be fooled by the oxigen mollecule O2 ,the ozone properties are diferent the ozone is toxic.
You can only store acetilene compresed in presence of acetone in wich it disolves
here is how to make carvine:
Calcium Carbide is a substance that reacts with water to create acetylene gas, which is extreamly flamible. In the late 1910's Tomas Wilson discovered how to create this by accident while attempting to make Aluminum in an electrical furnace. But enough with the history:

To make Calcium Carbide you will need:

-Calcium Oxide (lime, can be found seasonaly at gardening stores) --Calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) will work for this also

-(2) Terra Cotta flower pot (orange looking clay)

-Carbon (charcoal will work)

-Arc welder w/ carbon arc electrodes

First take a flower pot and drill two holes, one on each side near the bottom, then pour some Calcium Oxide into the pot slightly below the holes. Crush the charcoal (a hammer works great and is satisfying) and place it in the lime. Put the second pot upside down on top of the other to make a container. Then with your arc welder at about 105 Amps, create an arc for about 1 min. Let it cool down for a while (DONT BE AN IDIOT AND TRY TO COOL IT FASTER WITH WATER).

Open it up and there should be grey blobs around your electrodes (and maybe some un used material). This is your Calcium Carbide and will fizz when it comes into contact with water. Be creative or read other articals about how to use your new found friend.

Anyway, there are many advantages to using C.C., one of which is its ability to be concealed and another is its ease of use.

For fun, put some C.C. in a gelatin vitamin capsule and flush it down the toilet at school or at Mc Donalds. When the capsule breaks the gas is produced and BOOM the pipes burst. Either that or they shoot massive amounts of gas and water out of every open hole. Simply order your burger, eat, then simply excuse yourself to the bathroom. Then drop in the capsule, flush and get the hell out of there. Unless you want to be showered in toilet water. This makes for a good laugh anytime so keep a few capsules in your pocket just in case the little asshole at the counter gives you an attitude.

Answer 3

Acetylene, thats the one.

Calcium carbide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CaC2. It has the appearance of grayish white lumps. It is used mainly as a source of acetylene gas.

Calcium carbide is used in carbide lamps, in which water drips on carbide and the formed acetylene is ignited. Carbide lamps are still used by some cavers exploring caves and other underground areas. They were also used extensively as head lights in early automobiles, though in this application they are also obsolete, having been replaced entirely by electric lamps.

Answer 4

There is a gas called fluorine dioxide that explodes as it is formed. I made it once in my back garden as a teenager. It is a deadly gas. As you know hydrofluoric acid is highly dangerous and will go right through skin and bone. One drop is deadly. It etches glass and is kept in plastic bottles. Fluorine dioxide is just as toxic.
There was also a device that my chemistry teacher used to have that split water directly into its constituent parts-hydrogen and oxygen. As the emergent gas was given off I collected it in a plastic bottle , held it near a bunsen burner and it exploded extremely loudly forming water again. Great fun it was.

Answer 5

Hydrogen gas. You probably need a spark though. Have you seen pictures of the Hindenburg? Oh, the humanity!

Answer 6

Diethyl ether CH3CH2OCH2CH3
Ethyne C2H2

Answer 7

Hydrogen...that is the test for it..POP.
