Re: How much energy is required to split a water molecule into oxygen and hydrogen? Yes, it takes at least as much energy to split water into O2 and H2 as is released when these gases combine to form water. This is about 260 kJ per mole of water or just shy of 5 eV per molecule of water (4 electrons times 1.23 V).

The water molecule has a total of 10 protons and 10 electrons (8 from the oxygen atom and 1 from each of the two hydrogen atoms). Since it has the same number of protons and electrons, the water molecule is neutral.

A mole of water is about 18 grams. A water molecule contains one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Considering an oxygen atom is sixteen times heavier than a hydrogen atom, 1 mole of water has roughly 2 grams of hydrogen. This is just an estimate from high school level chemistry.

An atom of hydrogen has 1 electron, an atom of oxygen has 8 electrons. Thus, in one molecule of water there are 10 electrons. So, in one mole of water there are 10 moles of electrons.

In water's hydrogen bonds, the hydrogen atom is covalently attached to the oxygen of a water molecule (492.2145 kJ ˣ mol-1 [350]) but has (optimally) an additional attraction (about 23.3 kJ mol-1 [168]. This is the energy (ΔH) required for breaking the bond and completely separating the atoms.

Considering the industrial production of hydrogen, and using current best processes for water electrolysis (PEM or alkaline electrolysis) which have an effective electrical efficiency of 70–80%, producing 1 kg of hydrogen (which has a specific energy of 143 MJ/kg) requires 50–55 kW⋅h (180–200 MJ) of electricity.

During which stage of photosynthesis does water split into hydrogen and oxygen? The stage of photosynthesis where water splits into hydrogen and oxygen is during the light reactions. Producers make their own food through the process of photosynthesis.

Water can also undergo a chemical change. ... The molecules of water break apart into individual atoms. These atoms then recombine into hydrogen molecules (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2). The original material (water) changes into different substances through a chemical reaction.

It takes 572 kJ of energy to decompose 2.00 mol of liquid water.

For H2O, there is one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen. A molecule can be made of only one type of atom.

Electrolysis of water However, current best processes for water electrolysis have an effective electrical efficiency of 70-80%, so that producing 1 kg of hydrogen (which has a specific energy of 143 MJ/kg or about 40 kWh/kg) requires 50–55 kWh of electricity.

The molecular masses of hydrogen, oxygen and water are 2 g/mole, 32 g/mole and 18 g/mole respectively. 2×2=4 g of hydrogen reacts with 1×32=32 g of oxygen to form 2×18=36 g of water.

Equations at the Atomic and Macroscopic Scale If, or when, hydrogen reacts with oxygen, two moles of hydrogen and one mole of oxygen are consumed for every two moles of water produced.

There is also one mole of oxygen atoms weighing 16.00 grams in the mole of water. To get the percentage of hydrogen, divide the 2.016 by 18.015 and multiply by 100, giving 11.19%. For oxygen it is 16.00 ÷ 18.015 = 88.81%.

A water molecule (formally known as dihydrogen monoxide) is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. But you can't simply take two hydrogen atoms and stick them onto an oxygen atom. The actual reaction to make water is a bit more complicated: 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O + Energy.

Water can also undergo a chemical change. Water molecules can be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen molecules by a chemical reaction called electrolysis. When an electric current is passed through liquid water (H2O), it changes the water into two gases—hydrogen and oxygen.
