How nitrogen and hydrogen is obtained?

Nitrogen is generally obtained by a industrial plant that takes in air from the atmosphere, and separates it from the oxygen. Hydrogen is generally obtained from an industrial plant that takes in a hydrocarbon and water and splits it from the hydrocarbon and water. It makes a byproduct of CO2. It may be obtained from water alone by passing an electrical current through water and splitting it from the oxygen. This is a more well known method, but very uncommon.


What is the state of hydrogen at 20 degrees?

Hydrogen is a gas at 20 degrees, Fahrenheit and Celsius, but it you are talking Kelvin, then it is a liquid.


How is hydogen chlorine different from hydrogen gas and chlorine gas?

Hydrogen chloride is a compound composed of hydrogen and chlorine atoms bonded together, while hydrogen gas and chlorine gas are pure elements. Hydrogen gas is diatomic, consisting of two hydrogen atoms bonded together, while chlorine gas is diatomic, with two chlorine atoms bonded together. Hydrogen chloride is a colorless gas with a pungent odor, while hydrogen gas is colorless and odorless, and chlorine gas is a yellow-green gas with a strong odor.


What are commercial methods of production of hydrogen?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_productionAlmost all commercially available Hydrogen comes from the cracking of natural gas. Thus Hydrogen is not a cleaner fuel then coal at the moment. There are some pilot programs that are not workable yet, that do make hydrogen from water. They current consume more energy then the hydrogen they produce. Again, not a green method.


What is the state of hydrogen at room temperature?

At room temperature, hydrogen is a colorless, odorless gas. It is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe. Hydrogen becomes a liquid at very low temperatures, below -252.87 degrees Celsius.

What do you get when you electrolyse water?

When you electrolyze water, it separates into its constituent elements: hydrogen and oxygen gases. This process involves passing an electric current through water, causing the water molecules to break down into hydrogen gas at the cathode and oxygen gas at the anode.


How do you obtain the hydrogen from nature?

Hydrogen in nature exists as compounds with other atoms like oxygen (water) or carbon (natural gas, sugar, wood, etc). To get pure hydrogen, you need to separate it chemically from its friends. Like electrolysis of water into H2 and O2. Or reacting natural gas with high temperature steam, the source of most commercial hydrogen today.


When electric current pass through water.Which gases r obtained as anode and which obtain as cathode?

When an electric current passes through water, hydrogen gas is obtained at the cathode (negative electrode) and oxygen gas is obtained at the anode (positive electrode) through the process of electrolysis.


What is produced when the covalent bond in water molecules is broken?

When the covalent bond in water molecules is broken, it produces hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2) as the products.


What is the chemical formula when nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas?

Nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia. This is the reaction in the Haber process, in which the gases are mixed at high pressure and moderately high temperature and passed over an iron catalyst.
