How is hydrogen made from air?

Answer 1

Hydrogen is not made from air.

Hydrogen is an element, which means it can't be separated into any other substances without losing its properties, while air is a mixture of many different gases. Normal air doesn't naturally contain very much Hydrogen, and is composed mostly of diatomic Nitrogen (molecules containing two atoms of Nitrogen).

Air contains some Water, which is H2O, and H = Hydrogen. There isn't much Hydrogen in the air, but you can break down water into Hydrogen, if you give it energy.

Answer 2

Hydrogen can be obtained from air through a process called electrolysis, in which an electric current is passed through water to split it into hydrogen and oxygen. Alternatively, hydrogen can also be produced from natural gas through a process called steam methane reforming. This process involves reacting natural gas with steam at high temperatures to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
