Water has a neutral PH value of 7 and is neither acid or base (alkaline).
Since water can be represented by HOH, if we try ro argue that water is ab acid because it releases hydrogen ions, we can also argue that water is a base because it releases OH ions.

Hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen explain why this is a chemical reaction what are the reactants and products in the reaction?
This is considered to be a chemical reaction because it is not possible to rearrange water and oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide. This is science studied.
What are the disadvantages about hydrogen?
Hydrogen is very flammable and can easily explode. Look back the Hindenburg blimp that used hydrogen. Hydrogen burns very cleanly leaving just water vapor of a byproduct. Using Hydrogen as a fuel for cars sounds great except that you need to make it by splitting water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. That uses up as much energy as the burning of Hydrogen releases. In use as a fuel for cars, you can imagine the explosion when a hydrogen tank bursts and ignites.
All acids are hydrogen compounds but all hydrogen compounds are not acids?
This is true. Generally an acid is considered a substance that releases a hydrogen ion (H+) in solution or gives one up to another molecule or ion. However, not all hydrogen compounds will release a hydrogen ion. Hydrocarbons (such as methane, CH4 and benzene, C6H6), compounds of carbon and hydrogen, are generally not considered acidic. Some hydrogen compounds are basic, meaning that they produce hydroxide ions (OH-) in water or accept a hydrogen ion from another compound. Examples of basic include ammonia (NH3), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and sodium hydride (NaH). Sodium hydride actually contains the hydride ion (H-), which is highly basic.
Can you create hydrogen and oxygen without using water?
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.
Why is water not considered a mineral?
Liquid water is not considered a mineral because it is not a solid. But solid water--ice, is considered a mineral because it is a solid with a crystal form.
What is a substance that releases hydrogen ions when mixed with water?
An acid.
When hydrogen and oxygen conforms to water what would water be considered and what would hydrogen and oxygen be considered?
Hydrogen and oxygen are the reactants and water is the product.
A carboxyl group releases hydrogen ions in water so it is an organic?
Acid
A substance that releases hydrogen ions in water is a base yes or no?
Electrolytes that release ions that combine with hydrogen atoms are called bases.
Why is water considered to be a neutral?
Because the number of hydrogen ions are the same as the number of Hydroxide ions.
What substance releases positive hydrogen ions in water?
acids! Below the ph of 7.
Why the formation of water can be classified as a synthesis combustion or oxidation-reduction reaction?
The formation of water can be classified as a combustion reaction because hydrogen is heated in oxygen, and it is considered a synthesis reaction because two elements - hydrogen and oxygen - combine to form 1 compound - water.
Why is water not considered a biofuel?
Hydrogen fuel is considered a biofuel. It comes from the electrolysis of water. It is used in forests and agriculture.
Why hydrogen was named as hydrogen?
Hydrogen basically means "water maker" in Greek, because it forms water when burned.
Hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen explain why this is a chemical reaction what are the reactants and products in the reaction?
This is considered to be a chemical reaction because it is not possible to rearrange water and oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide. This is science studied.
What is water considered since it is made of two elements?
water is considered a compound. since you are taking one oxygen molecule and two hydrogen molecules they form a new substance it is considered a compound. Water is special, because it is a dipole. The dipole in water molecule, makes water the best media of solution.
What happens when you combine 2 hydrogen atoms with one oxygen to make water?
The combination of the atoms releases heat energy.
