What else can I help you with?
What is used to separate hydrogen and oxygen?
Electrolysis, the passing of electric current through water will separate the water into oxygen and hydrogen molecules.
What substance can be used to electrolyze water and separate it into hydrogen and oxygen?
The substance that can be used to electrolyze water and separate it into hydrogen and oxygen is an electrolyte, such as potassium hydroxide or sulfuric acid.
What is the instrument used in the laboratory which can split water into hydrogen and oxygen?
The instrument used in the laboratory to split water into hydrogen and oxygen is called an electrolyzer. It uses an electric current to drive the splitting of water molecules into hydrogen gas at the cathode and oxygen gas at the anode.
Do you need a chemical process to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen?
There isn't a chemical process that separates oxygen and hydrogen in water. To split the water into hydrogen and oxygen you need to perform electrolysis on pure water. Hydrogen gas will be given off at the cathode (- end) and oxygen will be given off at the anion (+ end)
Hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules can be easily split by what?
Hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules can be easily split by what electrolysis. This is the process which is used to breakdown water.
How can electrolysis be used to produce hydrogen?
Electrolysis can be used to produce hydrogen by passing an electric current through water, splitting it into hydrogen and oxygen gases. This process involves using an electrolyzer, which contains electrodes and an electrolyte solution, to separate the hydrogen and oxygen molecules.
Can hydrogen be collected out of water by separating it from oxygen using fish gills?
No, fish gills cannot be used to separate hydrogen from oxygen in water. Fish gills are specialized organs for extracting dissolved oxygen from water to support respiration in aquatic animals. The process of separating hydrogen from oxygen in water to obtain hydrogen gas requires specific methods like electrolysis or steam reforming.
How do you produce hydrogen in lab?
Hydrogen can be produced in a lab by reacting a metal such as magnesium or zinc with an acid such as hydrochloric acid. The reaction releases hydrogen gas as a byproduct. Alternatively, electrolysis of water can also be used to produce hydrogen by passing an electric current through water to split it into hydrogen and oxygen gases.
What will happen when you separate H20?
When you separate H2O, you will get hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2) as separate entities. This process usually involves electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through water to break it down into its constituent elements.
Why is it useful to make hydrogen out of water?
We can use hydrogen to power cars, as it is clean fuel and will not pollute the atmosphere. However, oxygen and hydrogen have such a strong bond, they are very hard to separate, and at present possibly use more energy to separate thna hte hydrogen actually gives. Anoter problem is storing it, as it is very explosive, and will easily react with oxygen to make water before it's been used. :)
What kind of energy is used when water decomposes?
To separate water into hydrogen and oxygen, electrolysis is usually used; this uses electrical energy. Of course, the electrical energy can be generated in any of several ways.
What elements are used in making water?
water = H2O Hydrogen and Oxygen
