What is splitting of water |
|
Answer» Water splitting is the chemical reaction in which water is broken down into oxygen and hydrogen:2 H2O → 2 H2 + O2Efficient and economical photochemical water splitting would be a technological breakthrough that COULD underpin a hydrogen economy. No industrially practical version of water splitting with pure water has been demonstrated, but the two COMPONENT reactions (H2 production and O2 production) are well known. The water splitting of seawater and other salt water is used industrially to make chlorine, however, and the waste hydrogen collected comprises about five percent of the world's supply. A version of water splitting occurs in photosynthesis, but hydrogen is not PRODUCED. The reverse of water splitting is the basis of the hydrogen fuel cell.Explanation:hope this helps please mark mine as branliest please |
