How do you know the that water is not a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen?

Since water and carbon dioxide are both compounds which contain oxygen, it is possible to obtain oxygen from either, but you get a different residue depending upon which compound is the source of the oxygen. Take the oxygen out of water and you are left with hydrogen gas; take the oxygen out of carbon dioxide and you are left with carbon, which is a black solid. It is easy to spot the difference between hydrogen and carbon.

Water is a compound formed by the bonding of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a fixed ratio of 2:1. A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen would not have the same chemical properties as water, such as its specific boiling and freezing points, making it distinguishable through chemical analysis.

∙ 8y agoYou can tell that water is not a simple mixture of hydrogen and oxygen because they cannot be separated by mechanical means. That shows that water is a chemical compound of hydrogen and oxygen.

∙ 13y agoWater is hydrogen and oxygen; one part hydrogen to two parts oxygen (H2O). Otherwise, it wouldn't be water. You might want to try to word your question differently, because it doesn't really make sense.

Is water on the periodic table of elements?
Water itself is not on the periodic table of elements because it is a compound, however as you probably know, the chemical equation of water is H2O. That means there are 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 oxygen atom in each molecule of water. Both hydrogen and oxygen can be both found on the periodic table.
How many moles of water are produce when 45.3 moles of hydrogen reacts with oxygen?
Since hydrogen is a gas, we would need more information to answer it. As chance wrote, you will need twice as much hydrogen as oxygen. However, in order to know what the volume of that hydrogen is, we also need to know the temperature and pressure so that we can use the universal gas law to get the answer.
What compound does water contain?
First, you need to know the meaning of compound. It is a pure substance composed of two or more elements that are chemically combined. Table salt - sodium and chlorine Water - hydrogen and oxygen Sugar - carbon, hydrogen and oxygen Carbon dioxide - Carbon and oxygen Baking soda - Sodium, hydrogen, carbon and oxygen
Which of the reactants in photosynthesis produces oxygen during the reactions of photosynthesis?
That would be the water. Light form the sun is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Oxygen, as we know, is released as a waste product that we use. Hydrogen is then carried to another series of reactions to create energy for the plant.
What is a little bigger then a cell?
a molecule for water. you know, 1 hydrogen 2 oxygen? And if you were wondering smaller... is an atom
Who invented water fountain?
First You Have To Know The Water Formula i.e H2O.This Is A Mixture Of Hydrogen And Oxygen This Is Done By God.
How does a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen differ from hydrogen and oxygen?
A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is a physical combination of the two gases, where they retain their individual properties. When combined as water (H2O), a chemical reaction occurs, forming a new substance with different properties from the original gases.
Could life as we know it survive with only oxygen?
I think, no. We need oxygen and hydrogen to make water so with only oxygen and no hydrogen we would have no water and life as we know it cannot exist without water
Does a mixture contain more than one kind of element?
Think of this, and it might help.Examples of mixtures are Water w/ Sand, which is basically sand inside water. And etc.Examples of compounds are Water, which is 2 Hydrogen molecules and 1 Oxygen molecule. And etc.Since Oxygen and Hydrogen are both elements of the Periodic Table, then take a guess since you know the basics. Does a mixture contain more than one kind of element? (Yes!)
Is seawater a mixture of compounds?
It would have to be considering that water is a compound of oxygen and hydrogen, and salt is a compound. Sea water is basically salt water.... you will know because when you go to the beach you can smell the salt and if you swallow the water it will burn your throat because of the salt.
What elements are in reservior water?
The chemical formula of water is H2O: hydrogen and oxygen, if you want to know this.
What is the composition of water?
Water (H2O)Water is composed of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. We know this because hydrogen (H) has a 2 after it, meaning there are two parts hydrogen in the substance. Then after the hydrogen symbols, we see oxygen (O) without any numbers after it - meaning there is only one part oxygen in the mix.H2O - 2 x Hydrogen and 1 x Oxygen
How is compound water different from hydrogen and oxygen?
Compound water is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen atoms bonded together in a specific ratio (H2O), while hydrogen and oxygen on their own are individual elements. When combined to form water, the properties of hydrogen and oxygen change, resulting in a distinct substance with unique characteristics such as the ability to sustain life.
What chemical is made when hydrogen burns?
When hydrogen burns, it combines with oxygen to form water (H2O).
What does water have in common with hydrogen and oxygen?
Apart from the obvious, that water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, not much. That is the mystery and beauty of the way things work chemically. Water is a liquid and is essential to life as we know it. The need for water is independent of our need for hydrogen and oxygen. If you need water and all you have is hydrogen and oxygen with no way of turning them into water, you are up the creek.Chlorine, atomic number 17, is a deadly poison in its natural gas form. yet there are many compounds containing this element that are needed for life.
Is there carbon dixide in your water?
"dioxide" you mean? no. there are only 2 gasses in water: hydrogen and oxygen as muchas i know.
Is water on the periodic table of elements?
Water itself is not on the periodic table of elements because it is a compound, however as you probably know, the chemical equation of water is H2O. That means there are 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 oxygen atom in each molecule of water. Both hydrogen and oxygen can be both found on the periodic table.
