It takes more energy to separate the hydrogen than we can get at the end.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of distillation?

The advantages and disadvantages of distillation are quite vast. On advantage of distillation is that the water is pure and will not conduct electricity.


What happens to potassium when it is added to water?

Solid, pure, potassium metal will react violently with water to form hydrogen gas. Often this hydrogen gas will ignite causing a flame and sometimes an explosion.


What is the difference between a calorifier and a chlorifier?

A calorifier is a sealed tank, which heats water indirectly. Usually in the form of a heated coil which is immersed in the water. Commonly known as a hot water tank. A chlorifier is a water tank in which the water is heated via an external source.


How can you eliminate a hydrogen sulfide odor in the water from a new hot water heater even after the anode has been replaced with an aluminum one?

You need to replace the aluminum anode with a zinc/aluminum alloy anode.ANS 2 - If a hydrogen sulfide (or rotten egg) odour exists around your water, it's often an indicator of excess iron in the water supply. This can be bad for your plumbing. I would advise taking a water sample(in a sterilised bottle) to a lab and have it analysed. If the iron content is very high you may well have to fit a softener or an iron filter.BTW - changing the anode is an excellent idea anyway. Just may not be the solution.

What are some advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen fuel cells?

The advantages of using hydrogen fuel cells are that they are an alternative fuel to fossil fuels, like coal, oil and gas. Also, burning or reacting hydrogen with oxygen runs electric motors and it's only emission is water vapour. The disadvantages of using hydrogen fuel cells is that hydrogen does not occur naturally on Earth and thus is not an energy source. It takes a great deal of energy to extract Hydrogen from water. Hope this helps! :)

Which is a byproduct of using hydrogen fuel?

The only byproduct of using pure hydrogen as a fuel is water, often in vapor form.


Water instead of gas?

Using water as a fuel source for powering vehicles is a concept called water fuel. It involves splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen gas through electrolysis, then using the hydrogen as a fuel source. While promising in theory, water fuel technology is still in the experimental stages and faces challenges such as energy efficiency and infrastructure for hydrogen storage and distribution.


Is hydrogen a source of energy?

It most certainly is. I can get an engine to run on hydrogen. All that is produced at the tail pipe is water vapor and carbon dioxide. When hydrogen and oxygen combine and a ignition source is present, water is formed along with a powerful explosion. Oxygen and Hydrogen are very volatile and are dangerous to combine without a controlled environment. The interesting thing is that Oxygen and Hydrogen combine to form water. What do firemen use to put out a fire? Oxygen and Hydrogen or H2O. If someone can figure out how to release hydrogen from water cheaply, you could power a car off water.


How is hydrogen water made and what are the steps involved in the process?

Hydrogen water is made by infusing water with molecular hydrogen gas. The process involves using a hydrogen water generator or hydrogen water bottle, which electrolyzes water to produce hydrogen gas that dissolves into the water. This can be done by simply adding hydrogen tablets or using a hydrogen water machine to create hydrogen-rich water.


Does hydrogen have an energy source?

Hydrogen itself is not an energy source, but it can be used as a clean and efficient energy carrier. It can be produced through various methods, such as electrolysis of water using renewable electricity, and used in fuel cells or combustion engines to generate electricity or power vehicles.


Can you remove all the hydrogen from water using an endothermic reaction?

Yes. It is possinle to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrolysis.


What is the energy source that splits water?

Water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen either:Thermally (water thermo-chemical decomposition) using high grade thermal energy (at temperature preferably above 1000 Co ), orElectrically (water electrolysis) using electrical energy.


Can you create hydrogen and oxygen without using water?

Hydrogen and oxygen can be produced separately from sources other than water, such as methane or electrolyzing other compounds containing these elements. However, for practical purposes, water is the most common source for obtaining hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis.


What are the disadvantages about hydrogen?

Hydrogen is very flammable and can easily explode. Look back the Hindenburg blimp that used hydrogen. Hydrogen burns very cleanly leaving just water vapor of a byproduct. Using Hydrogen as a fuel for cars sounds great except that you need to make it by splitting water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. That uses up as much energy as the burning of Hydrogen releases. In use as a fuel for cars, you can imagine the explosion when a hydrogen tank bursts and ignites.


Is Hydrogen a renewable or nonrenewable energy source?

Hydrogen is a nonrenewable source of energy when used for nuclear fusion (which is still not a technologically attainable power generation mechanism). When used as an energy carrier for oxidation (e.g. fuel cell, and internal combustion engine) hydrogen is not an energy source. In such applications, hydrogen is a man-made resource.
