No. The chemical bonds between the atoms that make up water are too strong for a magnet to break them. Other methods are needed.

What is used to separate hydrogen and oxygen?

Electrolysis, the passing of electric current through water will separate the water into oxygen and hydrogen molecules.


Is using electricity to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen a chemical change?

Yes, using electricity to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen is a chemical change because it involves breaking the bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules to form separate hydrogen and oxygen molecules. This process is known as electrolysis.


Can water be used to separate hydrogen and oxygen?

yes


What substance can be used to electrolyze water and separate it into hydrogen and oxygen?

The substance that can be used to electrolyze water and separate it into hydrogen and oxygen is an electrolyte, such as potassium hydroxide or sulfuric acid.


Which is NOT an element water hydrogen oxygen carbon chlorine?

Carbon is not an element of water. Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. Carbon is a separate element.


What is the method called to separate hydrogen and oxygen?

Can you take water and separate it into hydrogen and oxygen again?

Yes, with electrolysis.


Is there a car that runs on water?

They are working on that. They have machines that can separate the hydrogen from the oxygen. An automobile can run on hydrogen.


Why is water formed when you mix hydrogen and oxygen gases?

Water is H2O. 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Water is not formed when you mix hydrogen and oxygen. An explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is formed. When you burn hydrogen in oxygen, the resulting compound is water. When you boil water the result is steam, or water vapor. Boiling does NOT separate the hydrogen and oxygen. An electrical current is needed to separate the hydrogen and oxygen. CAUTION: Do NOT put salt in the water to speed up the electrolysis of water. It changes the products. instead of hydrogen and oxygen, you get hydrogen, chlorine (gas), and sodium hydroxide. The last two are very poisonous.


If you applied electricity to water you could separate water into which 2 gases?

Hydrogen and oxygen.


How do you separate the hydrogen from the oxygen in water?

You pass an electrical current through the water. The positive electrode will release oxygen while the negative electrode will release hydrogen.


Do you need a chemical process to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen?

There isn't a chemical process that separates oxygen and hydrogen in water. To split the water into hydrogen and oxygen you need to perform electrolysis on pure water. Hydrogen gas will be given off at the cathode (- end) and oxygen will be given off at the anion (+ end)
