@mantis777A The gas actually IS hydrogen. A spark doesn't light oxygen! As shown in the full video that is also posted here, it was pure hydrogen that was passed into the soap solution.
If you put BOTH hydrogen and oxygen in the bubbles, it sounds like a gun shot - very hard on the ears, and not recommended. If you search the web, you'll find demos of lighting hydrogen balloons vs balloons filled with hydrogen and oxygen. The mixture is the loudest, probably as it makes water fastest.
@ElectricVentures I know about HHO as I have one of the HHO generators as well. It's just that yours seems not that loud enough... ;) Check my video "HHO Solution Test Bottle 1 " @1:56
@mantis777A If you try the experiment, you'll find that it definitely makes a "pop". (As long as you don't let the bubbles sit too long!) However, you are correct. The pop is muffled in both this slow motion clip and the original clip. It is not that it isn't hydrogen ... but rather a less than perfect attempt at capturing the sound! ;-) If you checkout my original "singing glass": "Water dancing in a margarita glass", you quickly see that my early videos had audio issues!
Interesting! Note that when a hydrocarbon (e.g.: wood, coal, methane, ...) burns, the hydrocarbon is converted into water and carbon dioxide. The production of water is very common in nature! When the fuel is pure hydrogen, the only byproduct is water. [continued below...]
Also note that hydrogen is released into the air by volcanoes, some bacteria, and other processes. As hydrogen is extremely light, it doesn't tend to hang around. However, I wouldn't be surprised if static electricity (or a lightning strike) has trigged the combustion of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas on countless occasions!
@ElectricVentures so, what happened if we just put pure oxygen and hydrogen together? would it react or not? not the diatomic molecules but if we seperated them and then mixed hydrogen and oxygen. would they react?
@BassPlayerSluis As it has been decades since I've studied chemistry, experts are welcome to set the record straight, however I suspect that monoatomic oxygen would probably be enough. It is so reactive that it would instantly combine with H2 to form water, O to form O2, C to form CO2, et cetera. Note that producing a stable stream of either gas in its monatomic form would require at least as much energy as you would get out of the reaction.
@ElectricVentures oh ok! i searched this to see if they did the experiment withthe monoxygen and H2. i wanted to see if water just apperread.... K LAST QUESTION i have asked all my teachers ths and i dont get it
k so ionic bonding is an electron transfer so how does it differ from like charging by friction, cause in that it also move elctrons over :\. probably a dumb question haha
@BassPlayerSluis: With water, one usually talks of a "polar covalent bond". That said:
With friction (triboelectric charging), materials that come in contact can transfer some electrons to the surface of one material, but do not form new molecules/compounds.
The most stable state for an atom is to have a complete outer electron shell, like that of a noble gas. As a result, some elements can form a chemical bond with others by sharing electrons (covalent) or transferring electrons (ionic).
@MonksteinSpunky Hello, MonksteinSpunky! Water was split into hydrogen and oxygen, using a PEM Electrolyser. The apparatus can be seen in the full video clip, titled "Fuel Cell Series: Exploding Soap Bubbles - Properties of Hydrogen".
@Scaomompyer The "spark gun", as you call it, is designed for lighting gas appliances. You can often find them at stores that sell camping goods. They are currentlly listed online at Amazon, as well as automotive stores and RV sites. The one I used was an Olympian (Camco) GM-12 Multi-Sparker Gas Appliance Lighter. It is a continuous ignition piezoelectric lighter, powered by a 9 volt battery. Caution: Avoid models that require butane.
basically we did the same thing to get the gas *secret* and then you put it in soap water and we bottled it in our vid, and lit it....sounds fun, but is dangerous soo....either DONT DO THESE AT HOME, or be very carefull and have a proffesional aiding you.
Do you understand that 1. There is hydrogen in the tube, and that it is being bubbled through soapy water? 2. Burning hydrogen (in the air) produces water vapor? 3. Water consists of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. 4. The color of the flame is from the soap?
If you have specific questions, just post! If you haven't done so already, read the description at the right and watch the full video. Note that additional videos are planned.
That seemed more like a Oxygen bubbles as Hydrogen makes a BANG sound when lit.

neat, look at our video we posted yesterday, type in "quackerfilmz" and watch the one called "hydrogen explosion"
ametuer video we know, but still fun!!!

eduardfront,
ElectricVentures proved that H2 (those BUBBLES of Hydrogen) is a source of FUEL for ENERGY with the EXPLOSION!
The BY-PRODUCT of this is WATER (H2O) after the CHEMICAL REACTION with the ELECTRICITY and AIR (Oxygen)!!
