Hydrogen alone


A tank of hydrogen and a tank of oxygen are connected to glass cylinders in which the gases bubble through water to show the rate of flow of each gas. Initially, only hydrogen is bubbled through a tube into a soap solution. Hydrogen-filled soap bubbles float upward and are ignited with a flare. Small explosions are heard as each bubble is ignited.
