You can do this by taking a 9 volt baterry put wire on both outlets. Attatch a nail to each wire and stick into salt water. Nail that has more bubbles is hydrogen. The other nail is oxygen

Does a fish turn water into oxygen?
No, not at all. Most fish extract the oxygen that is dissolved
in the water, not the oxygen that is bound to hydrogen in the
formation of water.
This is one reason that most aquariums have an aerator bubbling
away - it is adding oxygen to be dissolved by the water.

What is the availability of water for neptune?
It is thought to be present in the mantle but not in the form
with which we are familiar. It is thought that the mantle may
consist of ionic water comprising atoms of hydrogen and oxygen
ions. At greater depth, this may turn to superionic water in which
the oxygen crystallises out and the hydrogen ions wander in between
the lattice structure of the oxygen crystals.

How do we turn hydrogen into energy we can use?
Hydrogen can be burnt with oxygen and the formation of the
chemical bonds between the atoms releases energy as heat.
Free hydrogen is normally manufactured by electrolysis from
water, and this requires energy to separate the hydrogen-oxygen
bonds, and it is this energy that is released when the chemical
bonds are re-formed by combustion.

Does water turn into carbon dioxide when boiled?
No, that's impossible. Water becomes steam when it boils, and
that's just water in the gas phase. Water is made of hydrogen and
oxygen. There are no carbon atoms there to form carbon dioxide, and
carbon dioxide contains no hydrogen.

Is sandy water a solution or a mixture?
Sandy water is a mixture because a solution cannot be changed
for example Oxygen and Hydrogen makes hydroxide and that cannot be
changed but sandy water can turn back because if you leave the wet
sand to dry the water will evaporate leaving the sand on it's own.
With water having evaporated you can turn the temperature up and
the Hydrogen gas (the water's gas) will slowly turn back to it's
original liquid hydrogen (water) form. Therefor it can be changed

Why does a candle turn off if you cover it?
Fire is a chemical reaction; it uses oxygen to turn one
substance into another. If you cover it, it can't get any oxygen
from the air, and so the chemical reaction stops and the fire goes
out.
I borrowed the following equation from another online Q&A as
an illustration. When propane (carbon and hydrogen) burns, it
combines with oxygen to make carbon dioxide (carbon and oxygen) and
water (hydrogen and oxygen).
C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H20

Is separating water into hydrogen and oxygen a chemical or physical change?
It is a reversible chemical change. Hydrogen and oxygen can be
easily reacted to produce water - and if you're REALLY good at
trapping the H2 and O2 molecules that form when you separate the
water, you can produce as much water as you started with. There are
a few other reactions that are reversible - NaOH + HCl comes to
mind, but please don't do it. Most reactions are irreversible; if
you react rennet with milk to produce cheese curds,...

Can an engine run on water?
Yes, sort of as I see two solutions:
1. If the water was ice and you ran a looped memory wire that
changed shape as the temperature changed. the loop would turn say a
pulley that paddled a toy boat (I did this experiment in High
School).
2. Cold Fusion (if we ever perfect this) you separate the water
into oxygen and hydrogen. The oxygen you can breath and the
hydrogen you burn in an engine.
