Can the hydrogen and oxygen created by the electrolysis of water be easily recombined to create pure water?

Yes, the pair of gases can easily be combined to create pure water. Passing the two gasses across a hot surface will cause the hydrogen and oxygen to "burn" or recombine, and (pure) water will form. The water will appear as a hot gas, but cooling it will cause it to condense.

Who created water?
Water was created through Chemistry. It is the combination of 2 Hydrogen molecules and 1 Oxygen molecule. When these 2 things come in contact they create water.
How did the big bang theory form the sun?
Hmph. The Big Bang theory did not form the sun. The big bang formed the elements hydrogen, then hydrogen began to create helium. Then stars were formed out of these two elements and that is how our sun was created.
Why doesn't hydrogen create carbon dioxide when burnt?
Hydrogen is hydrogen, it can't be converted into co2 since it doesn't have carbon or oxygen.
What does hydrogen and oxygen share when they create water?
gas
How do you create elements?
Originally all elements come from one element, the most basic element that was before any other was Hydrogen, from hydrogen all other elements are created in a process called thermo nuclear fusion.Thermo nuclear fusion is the process in which elements heat up to such a temperature that they start to collide with each of the same element to create 1 element that is 1 step higher than the last 2. The periodic table can help you work out the order of what element was created by what. Just to give a quick few Hydrogen came first then 2 collided and created helium then the same process happened and created oxygen then carbon then sulphur and so on.There's another way of making the elements. Element hydrogen has 1 proton, 1 electrons and 0 neutrons. so its the lightest element in the periodic table. and helium, it has 2 protons, 1neutron and 2 electrons. So this is how scientist ACTUALLY created elements. The top mentioned way is to create water (H2O), and other moleculesThermo nuclear fusion is naturally taken place in stars (which have hydrogen on the outside, and as it goes deeper in, pressure changes it to helium), bigger stars can create more complex elements as they are hotter (more complex elements are heavier and will not collide at the same temperature hydrogen may do).A star of any size can only create elements as complex as iron, more complex elements than iron are created in the explosion of a large size.A question you may be wonering is how was hydrogen created. Nobody knows as far a society and scientists know.
How are gene maps created by studying crossover events?
the rate at which linked genes are seperated and recombined can create a gene map
How hydrogen can be separated from water vapour?
Hydrogen is separated from water via electrolysis, which requires more energy than you'll ever get from burning the hydrogen. There's only one good reason to recover hydrogen via electrolysis, and that's if you're a jeweler. Jewelers' torches all burn hydrogen and oxygen which they get through electrolysis of water, because it saves them from having to handle and store welding gases. With an electrolyzer, they can create their gases when they need them, and only as much as they need.
What happens when electricity passes through you?
Set up properly, you will create electrolysis. Oxygen and hydrogen will disassociate form each other and be turned into gases.

How is hydrogen produced commercially?
"electrifying water to separate the oygen and the hydrogen" (aka electrolysis) is very expensive and is only used to create laboratory grade hydrogen. According to this source: http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/the-hydrogen-hoax most commercial hydrogen is created from hydrocarbons, like natural gas and petroleum byproducts. The author of this article claims that creating hydrogen this way creates more CO2 than burning the hydrocarbons for fuel directly.
Will the energy produced on combustion of hydrogen be more than the energy used for separation of hydrogen from water through electrolysis?
In theory, the energy produced by creating four oxygen-hydrogen bonds after breaking two Oxygen-oxygen and hydrogen-hydrogen bonds in the reaction O2 + 2H2 -> 2H2O (hydrogen combustion in oxygen) is exactly the same than the energy needed to break four oxygen-hydrogen bonds to create two oxygen-oxygen and hydrogen-hydrogen bonds in the reaction 2H2O -> O2 + 2H2 (water electrolysis) However, you will always have great energy loss during electrolysis (an important part of your energy will be used to warm up your water) and in getting back your energy from your oxygen and hydrogen gas (a combustible battery or a motor will warm up too).
Can you make hydrogen by removing the carbon dixiode out of oxygen?
No. Carbon dioxide gas can only be broken down into its components, carbon and oxygen. There are numerous ways to create hydrogen gas though. Passing an electric current will "split" the water, forming hydrogen and oxygen gas. This process is called the electrolysis of water. Acids will also frequently produce hydrogen gas when metals are added to them. For example, dropping a piece of zinc into hydrochloric acid will create zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Water will also react with a variety of compounds (such as magnesium oxide) to form hydrogen gas.
Can water burn with batteries in it?
No. Water will not burn, although the hydrogen and oxygen that make it up are both highly flammable. It is possible that putting a battery in water could create those gases by electrolysis under some conditions.
How do stars create their energy?
particles come together by the gravitational force. hydrogen occures and while this is happening the energy is created
How do you build a water powered engine?
Well directly a water powered engine hasn't yet been invented, but indirectly it has. By putting H2O through electrolysis you can separate its two components into H(2) and O. The hydrogen can then be used to fuel a hydrogen fuel cell engine while the Oxygen will be emitted harmlessly into the atmosphere. after the engine uses the Hydrogen, it will dispose of it and the hydrogen can effectively react with the Oxygen in the atmosphere to re create water. this water can be recycled to begin the process again and in theory, you could create an engine with infinite power on as little as a gallon of water.
What do hydrogen and propane combine to create?
Hydrogen and propane do not combine.
What are the Characteristics of hydrogen?
Hydrogen is used to create water: H20. Two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule create water. Also the sun is mostly made of hydrogen and helium.
