How to make hydrogen and oxygen at home.
We can make hydrogen at home. Water has hydrogen and oxygen. By passing electricity through water we can split hydrogen and oxygen.
Here are the steps.
- take two bottles.
- make a slit in both bottles.
- put wires in both bottles
- fill them with water.
- keep the bottles upside down in a large plastic container.
- connect the wires to a 9 volt battery.
- watch the hydrogen bubbling from the negative wire [cathode] and oxygen bubbling from the positive wire [anode].
