hey friend u can easily do it by passing electricity from it ,
at anode u will get oxygen and in cathode u will get hydrogen and the ratio between the hydrogen and oxygen obtained will be 2:1
because it is clear from the formula of water itself (H2O)
HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU AND PLEASE MARK ME AS A BRAINLIST

Electrolysis of Water
This section is an explanation of the electrolysis of water, feel free to skip it if you don't find it interesting.
2H2O(l) = 2H2(g) + O2(g)
As everyone knows a water molecule is formed by two elements: two positive Hydrogen ions and one negative Oxygen ion. The water molecule is held together by the electromagnetic attraction between these ions. When electricity is introduced to water through two electrodes, a cathode (negative) and an anode (positive), these ions are attracted to the opposite charged electrode. Therefore the positively charged hydrogen ions will collect on the cathode and the negatively charged oxygen will collect on the anode.
