Will Igniting Hydrogen and Oxygen in a Strong Metal Chamber Cause an Explosion?

AI Thread Summary
Igniting hydrogen and oxygen in a strong metal chamber may or may not cause an explosion, depending on the quantities of gases and the chamber's strength and shape. If the chamber is unbreakable, the reaction will produce water until all hydrogen and oxygen are consumed, at which point the reaction will cease. The potential for an explosion is influenced by the specific conditions of the reaction. If the chamber can withstand the pressure generated, the reaction will not extinguish prematurely. Ultimately, the outcome hinges on the balance of these factors.

I have a question,

What happen you Ignite hydrogen and oxygen in very strong metal close chamber
Will it explode to break the chamber?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
That's a very vague question. The short answer is: maybe.

It depends on how much H and O as well as strength and shape of container.
 
Imagine the chamber cannot break,what happen with the reaction hydrogen oxygen,will it extinguish?
 
Assuming the reaction happens at all, it will react to water until no hydrogen or oxyen is left, then the reaction stops.
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
