What must be done to oxygen and hydrogen to change them in liquids?

If you mean the individual gases you will need to apply pressure and or reduce the temperature to liquefy the gases.
If you mean by forming a compound react them together. The end product is water which is liquid at room temperature and pressure.

∙ 11y agoCondensation must occur for oxygen and hydrogen to turn into liquids; there must be an extremely low temperature for this to happen.
If you are talking about H and O becoming H₂O, the logic sort of flips over.
The atoms must react with each other in some way. An inefficient yet working method is to put Hydrogen and Oxygen into a balloon, and then set the balloon on fire with a match or some other fire-starting item (This will be accompanied with a loud explosion, so WATCH OUT!). When the balloon explodes, there will be a residue of water where it exploded. You have created water.

What happens when you mix liquid hydrogen with liquid oxygen?
You get a mixture of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. If this is done at ordinary atmospheric pressures, the oxygen will probably freeze, since its melting point is above the boiling point of liquid hydrogen. (I'm not sure of the solubility of solid oxygen in liquid hydrogen.)
How is oxygen formed with nuclear fusion?
Oxygen is formed in stars by fusion of Hydrogen with Nitrogen. There are various ways this is done, involving various isotopes. There are links Wikipedia, below. The first deals with the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen cycles, and is specific to this question. The second is more general.
Is photolysis the splitting up of water into hydrogen and oxygen?
Oxygen: released from plants ... !?Yes. Definitely. Any green plant (or) algae synthesise their building blocks of life by imbibing Carbon from air; splits Hydrogen from water; also utilises oxygen from water; some excess Oxygen is released outside of their system; they also draw other minerals apart from drawing water from the ground
Can hydrogen and oxygen be separated?
Hydrogen & Oxygen can be separated by means of electrolysis and membranes with gaskets that direct the flow of each gas stream. A set of two bubblers are required to keep the gases separated. This can be done at 12 volts DC and 10 amps using a cell stack of at least 6 plates. If you do not employ membranes the output will be OxyHydrogen or HHO gas.
How many neutrons are in water?
In a single molecule of water : 10 protons (1 from each hydrogen and 8 from oxygen)8 neutrons (none from hydrogen and 8 from oxygen)water = H2O 10 electrons (1 from each hydrogen and 8 from oxygen)To work out how many electrons, protons and neutrons in a molecule;Find the ballenced chemical equation - H20 in this caseLook up each element in the periodic table - hydrogen and oxygen in this caseCount the electrons, protons and neutrons - you do this by looking at the top numbers and the bottom numbers for each element. The top number is the "atomic weight" of the element, so the total number of protons and neutrons as each 1 unit of mass. The bottom number is the "proton number" number of electrons and protons (each) so for oxygen where the number is 8, there are 8 protons and 8 electrons. To work out the number of neutrons simply take the bottom number from the top number as you are taking the number of protons away from the total weight to give you whats left, which is the number of protons.Do a little bit more adding - H2O = 2 + 8 electrons= 2 + 8 protons= 0 + 8 neutronsAnd your done. Easy

Can you separate hydrogen and oxygen gases?
Yes. This can be done by condensation, since the two gasses change from gas to liquid at different temperatures.

4. What would have to be done to the water to make it change chemically that is make it change into the substances that compose it hydrogen and oxygen?
You would have to provide sufficient energy to break the hydrogen-oxygen bonds and allow them to reform as hydrogen-hydrogen and oxygen-oxygen.2 H2O -> 2 H2 + O2One way of doing this is electrolysis, where electrical energy is used.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water[This isn't for Chemistry in a certain online school, is it? =)]* Wiki is not a reliable source. It is only a good starting point.also i think ur asking if water can be made so that its compose of different amount of hydrogen and oxygen atoms however this would make it a different molecule altogether and not water
What would have to be done to the water to make it change chemically that is make it change into the substances that compose it hydrogen and oxygen Remember boiling water will not change it?
you can use electricity to split the atoms apart into their respective units, ie hydrogen and oxygen, I think it's called electolosys or something like that. there is a portable gas welder that uses batteries and water. it splits the water with electricity and burns the gasses to weld. very cool.
What is the difference between the way materials combine to form mixtures and the way elements combine to form molecules?
Properties change when molecules are formed. Properties, at least some of them, do not change in a mixture. Mixtures can be done in any proportion, molecules have an exact ratio of the elements in them. Hydrogen gas and oxygen gas can be mixed in a container in any amounts. 10 parts hydrogen to 3 parts oxygen or 15 parts oxygen to 7 parts hydrogen. They are still gases, colorless, odorless, etc. But if you strike a match the atoms combine in a ratio of 2 hydrogen to 1 oxygen and form water. If you collect it and cool it, the compound is liquid water. Obviously not the same properties.
What is needed to decompose water into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas?
Electrolysis is the process by which water can be split into Hydrogen Gas and Oxygen. This is done by running a current of electricity through the water which is diluted with sulphuric acid (or lemon water or salt) because it is a good conductor of electricity. Hydrogen is a Cation and Oxygen is an Anion then near the positive ends of the current you will find Hydrogen bubbles and the negative side you will find Oxygen bubbles.
Who invented water fountain?
First You Have To Know The Water Formula i.e H2O.This Is A Mixture Of Hydrogen And Oxygen This Is Done By God.
If Hydrogen is combustible substance and oxygen is also combustible substance but the product water is non combustible substance Why?
When hydrogen burns, it is combining with oxygen. Once it has combined to form water, the molecule does not want to readily accept more oxygen atoms. Fire is rapid oxidation, so if it is already oxidized, it is done.
