At school, my whole grade has been issued an assignment. This assignment is to design an experiment, any experiment.
Now because i am in the highest science class my teacher told us she expects a certain (high) level of experiment from us, now while everyone else is making batteries out of lemons and growing plants using different soils or even teaching rats to do tricks, i have been given advice to make a Hydrolosis Machine (i.e something that seperates water into Hydrogen and Oxygen) I have been told that these arent hard or too expensive to make. I may even then power something with the Hydrogen.
All i need is any info you can give me and even websites that would instruct me in building one of these things.
What i know at the moment is…
i have 2H(2)O -> -> 2H(2) + 0(2)
i need to find out what happens in , in other words, what do i do to the water in order to turn it into Hydrogen & Oxygen?
I would be thankful for any information you could give me.
If anyone can help me, its the people of the Straight Dope Message Boards.
