Why cant marine animals break down water molecules into oxygen?
Marine animals do not break down water molecules into oxygen, just like we don't. They breathe O2 gas that is in solution in the water.
When water is broken down what happens to the oxygen and hydrogen atoms?
Water (H20) is made up of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-). When water is broken down (e.g. through electrolysis), OH- ions lose electrons to form oxygen gas and water. 4OH- --> 2H2O + O2 + 4e. The H+ ions on the other hand gain electrons to form hydrogen gas. 2H+ + 2e --> H2 Water (H20) is made up of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-).

Does Water molecules dissociate to form h o2 ions?
Water's high heat of vaporization allows it to cool us off when we sweat
What is the chemical equation for hydrogen peroxide to break down to oxygen an water?
2H2O2(l) --> 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
What ions are formed when the base CaO is dissolved in water?
Ca2+ and O2-
What enzyme break down h2o2 to h2o and o2?
Catalase is the enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2). It helps protect cells from damage caused by reactive oxygen species.
Is o2 a strong electrolyte?
No, O2 is not a strong electrolyte. It is a neutral molecule and does not dissociate into ions in water, which is required for a substance to be a strong electrolyte.
What is the formula when liquid hydrogen peroxide decomposes to liquid water and oxygen gas?
hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 break down occurs 2H2O2 - 2H2O + O2
What is the main purpose of photosyntheiss?
The main purpose of photosynthesis is to break down water and sunlight in order to produce energy (ATP) and sugars (glucose). This process releases O2 into the atmosphere from the breakdown of the water.
At what temperature H2O breaks in H2 and O2?
Water (H2O) does not spontaneously break down into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) at a specific temperature. Instead, water can be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen gas through a process called electrolysis, which involves passing an electric current through water to separate the hydrogen and oxygen molecules.
Why does h202 break down into water and oxygen?
Because H2O2 is an unstable molecule - It naturally decays or breaks down into water H20 and the spare oxygen atom combines with another spare to form O2 The furmula is... 2H202 = 2H20 + O2
What reaction takes place in the Thylakoids within the chloroplast?
Water is converted into H+ ions and oxygen (O2) is expelled.
