why is hydrogen not use as fuel in transportation and alsoto produce Water |
|
Answer» Hydrogen fuelis a zero-emissionfuelwhen burned with oxygen. It can beusedin electrochemical cells or internal combustion engines to power vehicles or electric devices. ... The energy released enableshydrogento act as afuel. In an electrochemical cell, that energy can beusedwith relatively high efficiency. 2)It is not as easy as it appears to be. Combination of hydrogen and oxygen atoms is accompanied by release of tremendous amount of energy. This chemical reaction, when occurs, produces a large amount of energy, which may amount to a full scale, deadly explosion. This is exactly what happened in the Hindenburg Disaster in 1937. In order to manufacture water to cater to the needs of such a large population on the planet, the laboratories and the facilities required to contain such great and spontaneous emission of energy would betoo expensive to be practically and economically viable. |
