How do you separate sea water using electrolysis?

In electrolysis of sea water, the water molecules are broken down into hydrogen and oxygen gases. The hydrogen gas is collected at the cathode, while the oxygen gas is collected at the anode. This process separates the components of sea water based on their electrical charge.

How does acid form into hydrogen a chemical propertie?

by electrolysis of acid . And it also happens during acid base reaction. During reaction the hydrogen in acid gets free. And it forms the salt.


How do you extract aluminium from Aluminium Oxide?

By Electrolysis. Aluminium is too reactive a metal and too high in the reactivity series to be reduced by carbon reduction. The method is to dissolve aluminium oxide in cryolite(a temperature reducing catalyst). An electrical charge is put across the mixture Whereupon the aluminium oxide forms the cation Al^(3+) and the oxygen forms the oxide anion (O^(2-) The aluminium cation moves to the cathode and received electrons from the electrical charge at the cathode to form aluminium metal. Correspondingly thre oxide anion moves to the anode and forms oxygen. However, because of the high electrical amperage , the anions if very hot , and made of carbon, so the oxygen reacts with the anode nnd forms carbon dioxide, which the released gas. Have a look and the Royal Society of Chemistry's video on this industrial process.


What gas forms at a positive lead?

When performing the electrolysis of water, oxygen gas forms bubbles at the positive lead.


How do you get hydrogen and oxygen gases from H2O?

To separate H2O(liquid) into H2(gas) and O2(gas), you would use a process called electrolysis. This involves passing an electric current through the water, and collecting hydrogen as it forms as bubbles at the cathode (negative terminal), as well as collecting oxygen as bubbles at the anode (positive terminal). You will get half as much oxygen as hydrogen. For a more detailed description, see the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water you get H and O2 from H2O by using a method called Electrolyzation in which you separate O2 and H and this method is used in advanced submarines to have O2 from water.

When oxygen is bonded to a metal it forms a n compound when it is bonded to a nonmetal it forms a n compound?

When oxygen is bonded to a metal, it forms an oxide compound. When oxygen is bonded to a nonmetal, it forms an oxide compound as well. Oxygen can form both ionic and covalent bonds with different elements depending on their electronegativity.


When an electric current passes through water what new substances form?

When an electric current passes through water, it can electrolyze the water molecules into hydrogen gas (H2) at the cathode and oxygen gas (O2) at the anode. This process is known as water electrolysis.


How is sodium separated from other materials found with it?

Take a container with both elements and lower the temp. to -77 degrees; the liquid that forms is nitrogen & the other remains a gas. :)
