Hydrogen is generally eliminated from water by electrolysis. The specific mechanism of the reaction is oxidation-reduction. The stoichiometric equation that governs the reaction is:
H+ + OH- <--> H2O
The equilibrium of this reaction lies far to the right, so the water molecule is very stable and hydrogen formation is nonspontaneous. To force the reaction to the left side, we can run a current through the water with two electrodes from a battery. This can be simply done by twisting one end of a paper clip around each terminals of a 9-Volt battery and submerging the free ends in salt water. Gas will bubble off of both paper clips. The wire from the positive terminal will be the hydrogen. The other clip is bubbling chlorine gas from the ionization of the salt in the water.

∙ 10y agoYou can get hydrogen from many compounds using electrolysis or going to the other element's melting point to get hydrogen from it.

∙ 15y agolong story short you change it chemically so that the oxygen molecules attach or combine with a different element so that the remainder is a lonely hydrogen molecule.

∙ 13y agoYou can make hydrogen it mite not be totally full proof
but it will still work
(see how to make hydrogen...type as question)

How would you make a hydrogen ion?
covalently bonding it to another hydrogen ion
Why does the sun continuously burn?
It derives its energy from nuclear fusion reactions that transform, in its nucleus, hydrogen into helium.
When hydrogen atoms are kept in water then type of bond between water and hydrogen?
hydrogen bond.
Is hydrogen present in water flammable after seperating it from water?
Yes. Water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis. The hydrogen that results is flammable.
How much hydrogen is in a cup of water?
Two thirds of the water is Hydrogen.
How does energy transform?
hydrogen fusion
How would you make a hydrogen ion?
covalently bonding it to another hydrogen ion
What happens after the hydrogen transform into helium?
Helium is formed by the fusion of hydrogen at temperatures above 3.106 kelvin.
Can you get water from hydrogen?
You can get water from hydrogen if you combine the hydrogen with oxygen atoms.
What are characteristics of hydrogen?
Hydrogen is water...which can also produce electricity by the water wheel....Basically hydrogen is water..Theres nothing difficult about WATER/HYDROGEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which element combines with Hydrogen to form water?
Hydrogen. 2 hydrogens to be exact
How is hydrogen and heavy water different from hydrogen and normal water?
Heavy water is water whose atomic structure consists of oxygen and heavy hydrogen. Heavy hydrogen, or deuterium, is hydrogen with neutrons in its nuclei.
What percentage of water is hydrogen?
By mole, water is 66.666r% hydrogen but by mass it is about 11.9% hydrogen.
What is an example for thermal transformed into chemical?
There are many path, thermal energy could transform to chemical energy. Photosynthesis use the radiation energy generated from heat of the sun and adding carbon dioxide with water forming starch, a chemical compound with high energy content. Thermo-Electric could transform thermal energy to electrical energy and use to separate water to hydrogen and oxygen and obtain hydrogen as chemical fuel. For the direct transformation path from thermal to chemical energy, there is the thermal decomposition of water directly to hydrogen and oxygen. It required very high temperature in order of 2000 oC as in HYDROSOL power plant.
Why does the sun continuously burn?
It derives its energy from nuclear fusion reactions that transform, in its nucleus, hydrogen into helium.
Is hydrogen oxide water?
Yes. Hydrogen oxide is water.
How many molecules of hydrogen in water?
There are two atoms of hydrogen in a water molecule, but no hydrogen molecules.
