Water can be electrolyzed by passing an electric current through it, which causes the water molecules to break apart into hydrogen and oxygen gases. This process occurs at the electrodes, where hydrogen gas is produced at the cathode and oxygen gas is produced at the anode.
Electrolysis, the passing of electric current through water will separate the water into oxygen and hydrogen molecules.
Hydrogen can be added to water through a process called electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through water to separate it into 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.
Using a fuel cell to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen is a chemical separation process. It involves the electrolysis of water, which is a chemical reaction that breaks down water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen gases.
There isn't a chemical process that separates oxygen and hydrogen in water. To split the water into hydrogen and oxygen you need to perform electrolysis on pure water. Hydrogen gas will be given off at the cathode (- end) and oxygen will be given off at the anion (+ end)

Hydrogen and oxygen.
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.
In industrial electrolysis of water, hydrogen and oxygen gases can be safely separated by using separate collection chambers to prevent them from mixing. This is typically done by employing a membrane or a barrier between the two electrodes to keep the gases separated. Additionally, proper ventilation and control systems are in place to ensure that any buildup of gases is safely released to prevent explosion.
Hydrogen and Oxygen are gases at 20OC.

hydrogen and oxygen
Electrolysis can be used to produce hydrogen by passing an electric current through water, splitting it into hydrogen and oxygen gases. This process involves using an electrolyzer, which contains electrodes and an electrolyte solution, to separate the hydrogen and oxygen molecules.
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).
Yes. This can be done by condensation, since the two gasses change from gas to liquid at different temperatures.
The usual state of oxygen and hydrogen: they are gases at room temperature.
