Hydrogen and Oxygen. A simple experiment shows this reaction. two graphite rods placed in a glass of water attached to a battery will split water into their individual elements. Be careful as these are combustible!! Also you are playing with electrity and water. However upon reaction they turn back into water. This has been deemed the cleanest fuel which can be created for this very reason.

∙ 13y agoTwo gasses are formed by passing electricity through water. 1, hydrogen, and 2, oxygen. There is twice as much hydrogen as oxygen because there is two hydrogen atoms and only one oxygen atom in every water molecule.

What is the second best electrode material for the electrolysis of water?
Stainless steel
What are the disadvantages of using salt water to conduct electricity?
electrolysis of water could ensue, blocking conductivity
What chemical properties do the products of electrolysis have that are produced by the decomposition of water?
They don't have any properties!
What does your body use to make energy?
Food, water, and gases
Which expands most for increase in temperature water gas or solid?
The density of gases is by far the most sensitive to temperature changes.gas
Which is a product of the electrolysis of water containing a low concentration of KNO3?
Oxygen and hydrogen gases are released.
How do you separate the gases in water?
through electrolysis.
What process is the breakdown of water to form two gases?
electrolysis
What is the ratio of gases evolve on electrolysis of water?
at the ration of 2:1
How do you separate hydrogen and oxygen gases without explosion in industrial electrolysis of water?
you do this and that and this and also that you do this and that and this and also thatYou can separate water into oxygen and hydrogen by the process of electrolysis.
Name the instrument used in the laboratory which can split water into the hydrogen and oxygen gases?
An apparatus for electrolysis
What are the products when water is broken down by electrolysis?
The two products when water is broken down by electrolysis is hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. The energy source in photosynthesis is light energy.
How hydrogen can be separated from water vapour?
Hydrogen is separated from water via electrolysis, which requires more energy than you'll ever get from burning the hydrogen. There's only one good reason to recover hydrogen via electrolysis, and that's if you're a jeweler. Jewelers' torches all burn hydrogen and oxygen which they get through electrolysis of water, because it saves them from having to handle and store welding gases. With an electrolyzer, they can create their gases when they need them, and only as much as they need.
What is an electrolysis in science?
Electrolysis (coming from "electro", meaning electricity, and "lysis", meaning to cut) is the process whereby electricity is used to break apart a substance into two different substances. For example, electrolysis of water produces its constituent elemental gases, hydrogen and oxygen by this process: 2H20 + (electricity) --> 2H2 + O2
Breakdown of a substance by electricity?
This is named as 'ELECTROLYSIS'. The classic examples are ;- #1; Decomposition of water , using the 'H' pattern electrolyser. into its compoentn gases of hydrogen and oxygen. #2; The electrolysis of sodium chloride solution to form chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide, with the liberation of hydrtogen at the other electrode. #3; The electrolysis of bauxite (aluminium oxide) to form aluminium.
What elements are being decomposed in the water during electrolysis?
None are. The elements are not decomposed: the water is. The elements released by the reaction are hydrogen and oxygen.
What happens when electricity pass through water?
Set up properly, you will create electrolysis. Oxygen and hydrogen will disassociate form each other and be turned into gases.
