Firstly, we tend not to use the word 'separate' when talking about a chemical change such as this. You have to decompose the water into hydrogen and oxygen. The easiest way to do this is to pass electricity through the water, a process called electrolysis. There are two ways to make electricity from the Sun's energy. The first is to use a photovoltaic cell, which converts light to electricity. You can also use the Sun's heat to boil water, to make steam, which can drive a conventional electrical generator. This produces alternating current, so you would also need an inverter.

Where in the world do you find hydrogen?

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, primarily found in stars like the sun. On Earth, hydrogen is found in water, organic matter, and fossil fuels. It can also be produced through various industrial processes.


How can you separate water from salt by using the sunlight?

One way to separate water from salt using sunlight is through solar evaporation. Place the saltwater in a shallow container and let it be exposed to sunlight. As the water evaporates under the sun's heat, the salt will be left behind as residue, allowing you to separate the two components.


Why named hydrogen?

French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794), who is considered the founder of modern chemistry, named hydrogen from the Greek words for water former.Some of this is already noticeable - hydro- meaning water, and -gen looking a lot like generator.


What fuel is the sun using to release energy?

Our sun, Sol, uses hydrogen for fuel.


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.


Where does the sun get its hydrogen to burn?

The sun gets its hydrogen from its own mass. In the sun's core, high temperature and pressure cause hydrogen atoms to fuse into helium through a process known as nuclear fusion, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. This continuous fusion process is what powers the sun's energy output.


Which two renewable resources are an indirect result of the sun?

a. wind & water?b. magma and biomass?c. Hydrogen and tides?d. water and hydrogen?


Is water involved with the sun as an energy resource?

No. The sun is too hot for water molecules to stay together. The sun's source of energy is hydrogen, which makes up most of its mass.


Can you make hydrogen from other chemicals?

Yes you can make hydrogen from water through electrolysis. And also from helium (this happens in the sun)


Where is hydrogen found on the sun?

The Sun is about 70% hydrogen.


Is hydrogen affected by the sun?

no hydrogen is not affected by the sun because hydrogen can be combined with helium it creates a fuel source but it is not affected by hydrogen by it self so no hydrogen is not affected by the sun


Is the sun one forth hydrogen?

No. The sun is about 75% hydrogen.
