We could. We usually don't, because most hydrogen is produced by electrolysis from water in the first place. But we could if we found ourselves with an excess of hydrogen and a deficit of water for some reason.

What is the chemical equation of oxygen reacting with hydrogen to yield water?

The chemical equation for the reaction of oxygen reacting with hydrogen to yield water is 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O.


Which word equation shows hydrogen reacting with oxygen to form water?

Hydrogen gas + Oxygen gas -> Water.


Can a combustion reaction produce hydrogen?

No. If anything, a combustion reaction will consume hydrogen.


What is the balance equation for hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to produce dihydrogen monoxide?

The balanced equation for hydrogen gas reacting with oxygen gas to produce water is: 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l)


How many water molecules (H2O) can be produced from 6 molecules of hydrogen gas (purple) reacting with 6 molecules of oxygen gas (turquoise)?

6H2 + 6O2 ---> 6H2O + 3O2 This reaction leave excess unreacted oxygen behind.


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.


How do you distinguish between hydrogen and oxygen when burning?

Hydrogen burns with a pale blue flame, while oxygen does not burn on its own. In a combustion reaction with hydrogen, oxygen will support the combustion process by reacting with the hydrogen to produce water vapor.


Is reacting a metal with water the same a reacting it with oxygen?

Not all metals react with water, but some, such as metallic sodium, do react quite vigorously with water. In a sense it is true that when metals react with water it is the same as reacting with oxygen, because the water molecule (H2O) does contain oxygen, and it is the oxygen in the water molecule with which metals react. Metals do not react with the hydrogen content of the water molecule, so when metal reacts with water, hydrogen gas is produced as a byproduct. It just bubbles out of the water.


How does hydrogen and oxygen make h2o?

The produce water by direct combination when hydrogen is burnt in oxygen.


What chemicals produce hydrogen gas?

Water. When you put electrodes into water and pass a current, you produce hydrogen and oxygen gasses.


What is the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in the following equation 2 H2 O2 -- 2 H2O?

The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in the equation is 2:1. This means for every 2 molecules of hydrogen (H2), there is 1 molecule of oxygen (O2) reacting to produce 2 molecules of water (H2O).


What substance will you produce when you combine hydrogen and oxygen?
