What is hydrogen?

Hydrogen is the lightest element in nature, and the most abundant in the universe, totaling more than 70%. It is found in young stars, in interstellar dust and the huge clouds of gas suspended in space, but most of it is to form different chemical compounds. Has very low solubility in liquids, but a high solubility in metals, especially palladium.

Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and nontoxic.

Hydrogen burns in air to form an almost invisible pale blue flame.

Hydrogen is the lightest gas known as a function of its low specific gravity relative to air. For this reason, its handling requires special care to avoid accidents.

Hydrogen is particularly prone to leaks due to its low viscosity and low molecular weight (MW = 2016). It is a fuel with a high energy content, which provides 28.6696 Kcal per gram, compared to 11,953 Kcal / g of natural gas, 10,780 Kcal / g of gasoline, butane and 10.0792 10.932Kcal/gr Kcal / g of propane.
