Water molecules (not particles) can be "split" into hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2) using electricity. The process is called electrolysis. If a DC current is applied which has sufficient voltage (about 1.5 V), oxygen will bubble off of the positive electrode, and hydrogen will bubble off of the negative electrode. Some kind of electrolyte, such as salt, should be added to the water to make it more conductive, since pure water is a very poor conductor of electricity.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you get color with water evaporation?
Particles of dyes can be entrained by water vapors during evaporation.
What gas is released during bonfire?
During a bonfire, carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O), and smoke are the main gases released. Smoke is made up of a mixture of gases, particles, and other substances that are produced when organic matter burns.
What particles move during osmosis?
During osmosis, water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. Other particles (ions or molecules) may also move with the water if the membrane is permeable to them.
What is floc particles?
Floc particles are formed during the process of flocculation, where suspended solids in water come together to create larger, heavier particles. These particles can then settle out of the water more easily, aiding in the clarification and purification of the water.
What could be causing the presence of white particles in water after boiling?
The presence of white particles in water after boiling could be caused by minerals such as calcium or magnesium that have precipitated out of the water during the boiling process.
How do particles move during osmosis?
During osmosis, water molecules move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration across a semipermeable membrane. This movement of water helps to equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane. Particles themselves do not move during osmosis, rather it is the water molecules that move to balance the concentration of solutes.
How do the particles in the water change from the morning to the afternoon?
In the morning, particles in water may settle as temperatures cool, leading to clearer water. During the afternoon, sunlight and warmer temperatures can stir up particles, making the water more turbid. This cycle of settling and stirring can be influenced by weather patterns and water flow.
Why sand particles loose their strength during drying?
The water helps bond the sand
Do the particles increase or decrease when condensation happens?
Particles decrease during condensation as water vapor cools and changes into liquid water droplets. This process involves the clustering of water molecules from the vapor phase into liquid form, resulting in a decrease in the number of individual particles.
Condesation is an endothermic or exothermic?
condensation is the exothermic because the condensing particles reduce their kinetic energy during combination.
What is the use of aluminum sulfate?
It is used in antiperspirants and to remove suspended particles during water purification.
What would happen to the speed and energy of water particles during the evaporation phase?
The energy of water molecules is increased to allow evaporation.
