We can't create hydrogen and oxygen because they are natural, water is a mixture of both. Hydrogen and oxygen are elements and can't be made.

How are the oxygen molecules in a molecule of oxygen held together?

If you are mentioning about sticking two hydrogen atoms with one oxygen atom, then it's water. Other than that, oxygen and hydrogen are not together, unless they are water, hydrogen peroxide, or some other compound with an -OH group. In such compounds the hydrogen and oxygen are held together by covalent bonds, the sharing of electrons.


How does a Hydrogen powered car work?

Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to form water and gives off energy in the process. This energy, mostly in the form of heat, can be used as an energy source. Hydrogen fuel cells are specialized to react the hydrogen and oxygen in an optimal way so that maximum energy can be harnessed. The source of the energy is the hydrogen gas that is synthesized in a lab, usually by the electrolysis of water (which means running electrical energy through water causing it to separate into oxygen and hydrogen gas). The energy used to create the hydrogen gas can come from many sources including fossil fuels, solar, hydroelectric, etc.


What elements make up talc?

There are four elements that are used to make talc. They are oxygen, hydrogen, silicon, and magnesium. Care should be used when using talc so that you do not inhale the dust from it.


How do you know if a gas is hydrogen or oxygen?

Lots of ways. Density and spectroscopy come to mind, but if you're just looking for a quick test of a small quantity and you don't mind using it up in the process: A smoldering (not flaming) wooden splint inserted in a test tube of oxygen will flare into life. A flaming splint inserted in a test tube of hydrogen will cause a small "pop" (and probably blow the splint out) as the hydrogen combusts.

What ingredients go in photosynthesis and where do they go?

The ingredients are carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. The water is split using sunlight energy into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is then used to create energy that the plant can use while some oxygen is expelled as a waste product. Carbon dioxide is rearranged into carbon compounds, and the extra 6 oxygen molecules combine with hydrogen to create water which is also expelled as a byproduct.

Can you remove all the hydrogen from water using an endothermic reaction?

Yes. It is possinle to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrolysis.


How are hydrogen cars powered?

Generally, a Hydrogen powered car runs by using hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity in a fuel cell, which is then used to power an electric traction motor that runs the car. Direct ignition-engines are more difficult and dangerous to 'run'.


Can the equation for photosynthesis be balanced?

Yes. The equation for photosynthesis can be balanced. You are simply using light to strip two hydrogen atoms from one oxygen atom. You will have H2O plus 2 photons produces 2 single atoms of Hydrogen and One atom of free Oxygen. Your free atom of Oxygen will soon link up with another Oxygen atom and create O2. The hydrogen atoms will participate in some other reactions.
