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.

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

Water can be separated into hydrogen and oxygen through a chemical change called electrolysis, which uses an electric current to break apart the water molecules. Boiling water is a physical change that only changes the state of the water from liquid to gas, but it does not separate the water into its component elements.
