Hydrogen is separated from water via electrolysis, which requires more energy than you'll ever get from burning the hydrogen. There's only one good reason to recover hydrogen via electrolysis, and that's if you're a jeweler. Jewelers' torches all burn hydrogen and oxygen which they get through electrolysis of water, because it saves them from having to handle and store welding gases. With an electrolyzer, they can create their gases when they need them, and only as much as they need.

How hydrogen detected in the carbon and hydrogen test?

To test for hydrogen in the given substance, a dry sample is needed. Burn it in excess of oxygen. If the vapour turns white copper sulfate into blue colour, it indicates that there is water in present in the vapour. Hence, the organic compound contains hydrogen.


What is produced directly from the splitting of water?

Splitting water results in oxygen and hydrogen. The water element is separated into two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.


Can water be separated into hydrogen and oxygen by boil physical change or chemical change?

Water cannot be separated into hydrogen and oxygen by boiling. Boiling is a physical change which means the molecule doesn't change at all--liquid water and water vapor are both H2O. Water can be separated into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity, this would be a chemical change.
