If you use pass an electrical current through water to split it into hydrogen and oxygen, it is called electrolysis. If you use a chemical reaction to split water, then it is often called oxidation or reduction depending on the process. The splitting of water itself doesn't have a name, only the processes that are used to do it.
The overall equation for the splitting of a water molecule is 2 H2O(l) --- 2 H2(g) + O2(g). This process is called electrolysis of water.
Using electrolysis (splitting using electricity)
Yes they can be split
photolysis
hydrolysis
Mosis
Water. H2O.
Electrons are replaced with splitting water when light strikes chlorophyll.
Water is split during light reactions to release oxygen.
When heat is added to the water, the molecules move faster. When the water reaches the boiling point (100 Degree Celsius), the water molecules at the surface of the water would break apart with the other molecules and escape (evaporate). When they evaporate, the water molecules changes state and becomes water vapour.
Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction. Molecules of water are split into hydrogen cations and hydroxide anions in the process of a chemical mechanism.
Water. H2O.
Hydrolysis. I remember it as hydro = water, lysis = to split.
Hydrogen (H)
It changed the chemical formula of the water.
Hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules can be easily split by what electrolysis. This is the process which is used to breakdown water.
Yes, this is an electrochemical reaction.
Yes, this is an electrochemical reaction.
when sugar dissolves in water the sugar molecules are more attracted-to the water than each other.the molecules-break apart from each other and water molecules surround them.
Water molecule
Water molecules separating means they are spreading, or in other words, the water is evaporating. When they are breaking apart, the hydrogen and oxygen are separating.
due to hydrogen bonding bettween water molecules.
