Water is not an element. It is composed of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom, therefore it is a compound. However, when you pass electricity through water under the right circumstance, the electricity will split the water into its component elements, Hydrogen and Oxygen.

When electricity is passed through acidified water bubbles are formed this is because water?
conducts electricity.
What type of reaction takes place when electricity is passed through water?
the electricty goes stronger
What will happen to water molecules when electricity is passed through water during electrolysis?
The water molecules will be split releasing hydrogen and Oxygen gas.
Why is sulphuric acid used in electrolysis of water?
Water breaks down to form hydrogen and oxygen when electricity is passed through it. Water is a bad conductor of electricity, so it is mixed with sulphuric acid or caustic soda to make it a good conductor of electricity.
What type of reaction takes place when electricity is passed through acidified water?
Electric decomposition or electrolytic decomposition takes place (both are the same and mean the same)
When electricity is passed through acidified water bubbles are formed this is because water?
conducts electricity.
What will happen to water molecule when electricity is passed through water during electrolysis?
when electricity is passed through water using electrolysis, it will decompose to form hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) atoms
What is The process in which electricity is passed through salt water for the purpose of desalinating the water called?
The process in which electricity is passed through salt water for the purpose of desalinating the water is electrodialysis with some other process makes it safe for human consumption
Is the process in which electricity is passed through salt water for the purpose of desalinating the water?
electrodialysis.
Which is the process in which electricity is passed through salt water for the purpose of desalinating the water?
electrodialysis.
What type of reaction takes place when electricity is passed through water?

How can you turn water energy into electricity?
The energy produced by water in motion is passed through a fan or turbine. A generator attached to the fan or turbine spins with it and produces electricity.
What will happen to water molecules when electricity is passed through water during electrolysis?
The water molecules will be split releasing hydrogen and Oxygen gas.
When eletricty is passed through water the water breaks down into two simplar gases could water be an element?
Water is a compound and not an element because it can be broken down into the two gases hydrogen and oxygen.
Why is sulphuric acid used in electrolysis of water?
Water breaks down to form hydrogen and oxygen when electricity is passed through it. Water is a bad conductor of electricity, so it is mixed with sulphuric acid or caustic soda to make it a good conductor of electricity.
When electricity is passed through acid containing water what type of chemical reaction takes place?
co2 + h2o -> hco3
How energy is passed through water?
True, waves ARE energy passing through water. nova net Easy.ill explain.put some lemon juice in water now pass electricity through it you will get a smell.this is because electricity evolves the hydrogen and oxygen in the water.this way by making use of such conductors electricity will pass through water.i think even salt works in the procedure
