Okay so Hydrogen is obtained by water.I know this because i am a very smart person and i hope you really believe me becasue i know that i will get this question right. Thank you for reading my anwser and dont put anwsers on here that are not even true.

Im pretty sure im right.:)

AN EXPANSION

Hydrogen is the most common substance in the universe and on earth.

On earth Hydrogen is commonly combined with another item to form something common EG:

  • With Oxygen to form H20 (water)
  • Carbon to form things like Methane (Natural Gas) or Propane

To separate Hydrogen off of the other substance takes energy, the only process I know anything about is separating water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. Two electrodes are place in water and energised. This will break the water down. The system captures the two gasses.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hydrogen is prepared by decomposing water. This famous reaction called the, "water gas reaction," is when steam passes over hot carbon in the form of coke, with methane gas acting as the substitute for coke. The, "water gas reaction," involving water in the form of superheated steam and methane, CH4 and water, H20 frees molecules forming hydrogen gas.

Electrolysis Procedures make up the third-largest source of hydrogen production. Electrolysis involves separating the atoms of Hydrogen and Oxygen from the molecule H2O or water by charging water with an electrical current.

one way is to pass a current through water (H2O)

hydrogen bubbles off at one electrode, oxygen off the other.

Commercial hydrogen is obtained from which gas?

Most often natural hydrocarbon gas.


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 are two methods for producing hydrogen?

Hydrogen can be produced by: - Compressing air to the point where it becomes a liquid. Then the process of fractional distillation is used on this liquid air. - Hydrogen can be obtained by the steam reforming of methane. - Reacting some metals with water yields a base and hydrogen gas. <><><> Hydrogen can also be produced by eletrolysis of water, splitting it into oxygen and hydrogen.

Is sodium hydroxide obtained from rock salt?

Sodium hydroxide is obtained from salt, yes. The manufacture of this strong base is accomplished mainly from what is termed the chloralkali process. This is the electrolysis of a salt solution which produces sodium hydroxide and also chlorine and hydrogen gas. It is an industrial process that is important to the chemical industry. A link follows.
