Compared with the energy it takes to separate oxygen and hydrogen from water, how much energy is released when they recombine?.

Respuesta :

The same amount of energy released when they recombine

Yes, the energy required to separate water into O2 and H2 is at least equal to the energy released when these gases come together to form water.

What is the process for separating water into it's constituents ?

The process of separating water into hydrogen and oxygen is known as electrolysis. This reaction occurs in a device known as an electrolyzer.

  • This is around 260 kJ per mole of water, or just under 5 eV per water molecule (4 electrons times 1.23 V). One litre of water would require at least 16 MJ (4.4 kWh) in order to be split, which is more energy than would be required to send one litre of water into deep space.
