Electrolysis of water using carbon rods and a low voltage of electric current will break down water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Theoretically, thermolysis (electrolysis at a high temperature) would be more efficient, given a suitable source of heat energy.

You seem to be asking about water.
What elements are found in both carbohydrates and water?
Water contains hydrogen and oxygen. Sugar contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
What elements to you get when you burn hydrogen with oxygen?
Hydrogen and oxygen are already elements. You don't get elements as a product. You get water, which is a compound.
What two elements make up the chemical structure of water?
hydrogen and oxygen are the two elements which make up water
Which 2 elements is water made of?
Hydrogen and oxygen; the chemical formula of water is H2O.
What elements are being decomposed in the water during electrolysis?
None are. The elements are not decomposed: the water is. The elements released by the reaction are hydrogen and oxygen.

How can water which is composed of hydrogen and oxygen be decomposed into the elements from which it is made?
Through the electrolysis of water. In hydrolysis, a DC voltage is applied across an aqueous medium via two electrodes. The resulting current breaks the water into its constituents elements, hydrogen and oxygen.
How is hydrogen peroxide changed by enzymes?
It is decomposed into water and oxygen.
What elements are found in both carbohydrates and water?
Water contains hydrogen and oxygen. Sugar contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Hydrogen peroxide decomposed into simpler substances?
The hydrogen peroxide is both oxidized and reduced, to produce water and elemental oxygen.
How many elements compose of pure water?
Water is composed from hydrogen and oxygen.
What elements to you get when you burn hydrogen with oxygen?
Hydrogen and oxygen are already elements. You don't get elements as a product. You get water, which is a compound.

What are the elements of glucose syrup?
Elements in Glucose Carbon Oxygen Hydrogen Glucose syrup has some water in it, so elements in Water Oxygen Hydrogen
Elements in water?
oxygen & hydrogen
What elements make up syrup?
Syrup is a mixture different sugars and water. So it is composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
