Answer:

Make Hydrogen Gas – Method 1

The electrolysis of water (H2O) is one of the easiest way to make hydrogen gas. Electrolysis breaks the water into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. So, you can collect impure oxygen using this method, too.

Materials

Only basic materials are needed for this method:

Water

9-volt Battery

2 Paperclips (or wire)

Container filled with water

Procedure

Unbend the paperclips and connect one to each terminal of the battery.

Place the other ends, not touching, into a container of water. Congratulations! You have electrolysis.

You’ll see bubbles coming off both wires. The one with more bubbles is giving off pure hydrogen. The other bubbles are impure oxygen. You can test which gas is hydrogen by holding a lit match or lighter over the container. The hydrogen bubbles will burn; the oxygen bubbles will not burn.

Once you’ve identified the hydrogen source, you can collect it. Collect the hydrogen gas by inverting a water-filled tube or jar over the wire producing the hydrogen gas. The reason you want water in the container is so you can collect hydrogen without obtaining air. Air contains 20% oxygen, which you want to keep out of the container in order to keep it from becoming dangerously flammable. Don’t collect the gas coming off both wires into the same container, since this is a mix of hydrogen and oxygen and is flammable. If you wish, you can used a second container with water to collect the impure oxygen.

Disconnect the battery. Stopper or cap the container of water and gas before turning it rightside-up. Label your container.
