Question
If you are breaking water molecules down to get hydrogen, gas and oxygen gas, what chemical reaction happens
Answers
GPT 3.5
The chemical reaction that occurs when water molecules are broken down to produce hydrogen gas and oxygen gas is called electrolysis. This reaction can be represented by the following equation:
2H2O(l) -> 2H2(g) + O2(g)
In this reaction, an electric current is passed through water, causing the water molecules to split into their constituent elements. Hydrogen gas (H2) is generated at the cathode (negative electrode), while oxygen gas (O2) is released at the anode (positive electrode).
2H2O(l) -> 2H2(g) + O2(g)
In this reaction, an electric current is passed through water, causing the water molecules to split into their constituent elements. Hydrogen gas (H2) is generated at the cathode (negative electrode), while oxygen gas (O2) is released at the anode (positive electrode).
