How do you separate Hydrogen and Oxygen from HHO hydroxygen or Brown gas?
The method of separation is electrolysis.
What is used to separate hydrogen and oxygen?
Electrolysis, the passing of electric current through water will separate the water into oxygen and hydrogen molecules.
How do you get hydrogen and oxygen gases from H2O?
To separate H2O(liquid) into H2(gas) and O2(gas), you would use a process called electrolysis. This involves passing an electric current through the water, and collecting hydrogen as it forms as bubbles at the cathode (negative terminal), as well as collecting oxygen as bubbles at the anode (positive terminal). You will get half as much oxygen as hydrogen. For a more detailed description, see the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water you get H and O2 from H2O by using a method called Electrolyzation in which you separate O2 and H and this method is used in advanced submarines to have O2 from water.
The process of passing electricity through water to chemically separate it into hydrogen and oxygen is call?
It is called electrolysis.
How do you separate oxygen ammonia hydrogen mixture?
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.
How can your urine from cocaine?
separate the hydrogen and oxygen
How do you separate Hydrogen and Oxygen gases in industrial electrolysis of water process?
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.
How do you separate hydrogen and oxygen gases without explosion in industrial electrolysis of water?
you do this and that and this and also that you do this and that and this and also thatYou can separate water into oxygen and hydrogen by the process of electrolysis.
Can water be used to separate hydrogen and oxygen?
yes
Is there a car that runs on water?
They are working on that. They have machines that can separate the hydrogen from the oxygen. An automobile can run on hydrogen.
How do you separate hydrogen and oxygen gas after you make it from electrolysis?
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).
Why is water formed when you mix hydrogen and oxygen gases?
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.
