Various methods could be used to separate such a mixture. However, one suitable method which is widely used for separating gas mixtures is fractional condensation. This method relies on differences in boiling points to separate the components.
If you compress and cool an ammonia-oxygen gas mixture, the ammonia will condense and become a liquid. By slowly venting the container in which the mixture is held, the oxygen will escape and leave the liquid ammonia in the container. Ammonia and oxygen had formed a physical mixture in the container, and by performing the physical process described, the two can be separated.
A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen means that the two gasses would be mixed together, but remain chemically distinct from one another and retain their own properties. You would still have separate hydrogen and oxygen molecules. In a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, water, the two elements are chemically combined to form a new substance with its own set of properties.
The formula for ammonia is NH3. That means that for every nitrogen atom, there are 3 atoms of hydrogen.
The bonds between the Hydrogen and Oxygen are strong and no more Oxygen can bond. (Combustion is rapid oxidation).If you separate the Hydrogen from the Oxygen (through pyrolysis for example) the mixture is explosive.A2. The hydrogen has already burnt to make water. It cannot be burnt again.
Water is H2O. 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Water is not formed when you mix hydrogen and oxygen. An explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is formed. When you burn hydrogen in oxygen, the resulting compound is water. When you boil water the result is steam, or water vapor. Boiling does NOT separate the hydrogen and oxygen. An electrical current is needed to separate the hydrogen and oxygen. CAUTION: Do NOT put salt in the water to speed up the electrolysis of water. It changes the products. instead of hydrogen and oxygen, you get hydrogen, chlorine (gas), and sodium hydroxide. The last two are very poisonous.

A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen would consist of separate H2 and O2 molecules. The hydrogen and oxygen would retain their own properties. The most common compound of hydrogen and oxygen is water. In it the two elements are combined into molecules of H2O, which has its own set of properties distinct from those of hydrogen or oxygen.

In electrolysis, oxygen and hydrogen gas are produced at different electrodes (oxygen at the anode and hydrogen at the cathode). Since these electrodes do not have to be in close proximity, the hydrogen and oxygen will bubble upwards into separate collection vessels. If you needed to separate hydrogen and oxygen once mixed, the easiest way I can think of would be to cool the mixture to ~60K. At this point the oxygen would condense and leave hydrogen gas.
No. Water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, not a mixture.

Water is a compound because it is made from Oxygen and Hydrogen chemically bonded together to form a water molecule (H2O). With water you can not separate the Oxygen from the Hydrogen by physical means.A soft drink is a mixture because it is made from:WaterSugarFlavoringsColoringsIt is possible to separate these things out of the mixture using physical means.
The formula for ammonia is NH3. That means that for every nitrogen atom, there are 3 atoms of hydrogen.
Use a distillation column. It cools down the gases to below the boiling point of oxygen at high preassure. Oxygen condenses and forms a liquid that can be tapped from the column while hydrogen remains a gas. Why not separate the electrodes used in the electrolyzation process and trap hydrogen at one and the oxygen at the other? It is a lot easier, and probably a lot less dangerous (as a hydrogen and oxygen gas mixture is explosive).

In water, two hydrogen are covalently bonded to one oxygen making it a compound not a mixture.
