What element produces oxygen in water?

The element that produces oxygen in water is hydrogen, through the process of electrolysis. When electricity passes through water, it splits into hydrogen and oxygen gas. This is how oxygen is generated from water.


Do you need a chemical process to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen?

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)


What are the to things that make oxygen?

Oxygen is produced through the process of photosynthesis in plants, where they take in carbon dioxide and water and convert it into oxygen and glucose. Oxygen can also be generated through chemical processes such as electrolysis of water, where an electric current splits water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen gas.


When electricity is passed through water what elements does it decomposes?

None. Water is not radioactive therefore neither of the two elements (hydrogen and oxygen) that make it decompose, the electrolysis splits the water molecule H2O into free hydrogen and free oxygen. Free, in this case means they are not combined with anything, it does not mean that they cost nothing.


Do hydrogen and oxygen react with water?

Hydrogen and oxygen do react with water. When hydrogen reacts with oxygen in the presence of water, it forms water again. This reaction can be seen in the process of electrolysis, where water is split into its components, hydrogen and oxygen, using electric current.

When water dissociates each water molecule splits into?

Initially, each water molecule splits into two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. These single atom forms of hydrogen and oxygen are highly reactive and soon pair with one another to form diatomic molecules of both hydrogen and oxygen.


What is the bi-product of water and air from photosynthesis?

oxygen and water.oxygen from water when it splits into hydrogen and oxygen because only the hydrogen is used, and water from carbon dioxide that combines with hydrogen to make a carbohydrate,


When water splits to to form hydrogen and oxygen is this a change of state?

No, it's a chemical reaction.


How does the iss get air?

They get air from a generator that splits water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen!! :) Hope it helped!!


Why do green plants release oxygen?

The sun's energy splits the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen joins with carbon dioxide to make sugar. The sugar is carried to the rest of the plant. The extra oxygen is then released into the air.

What is the name of the scientific intsrument that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen?

The process is called Electrolysis.There are many devices to split water, one of them is the Hofmann voltameter.


Can water be split into oxygen and hydrogen purpose?

No it cant, A secondary reaction takes place and it splits into Chloride gas and hydrogen. :) Heaven Miller Mulberry Middle 7th


What are the 2 gaseous elements formed when electric current passes through acidified water?

The two gaseous elements formed are hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2). The electrolysis of acidified water splits the water molecule (H2O) into its constituent elements, hydrogen and oxygen, through the process of electrolysis.
