we all know that the chemical formula of water is H2 + O2 = H2O... but why we can manufacture water while knowing the the chemical formula of water....????


ShifaliSanthosh: U mean why we can't manufacture water

Hi...


Theoretically, this is possible, but it would be an extremely dangerous process, too.

To create water, oxygen and hydrogen atoms must be present.

Mixing them together doesn't help; you're still left with just separate hydrogen and oxygen atoms..


A great process is required to combine the 2 molecules present and maybe that technology is not developed that may bear the energy released during the process

Hope this helps u!!

saranshchaudhary: sorry i dont think any energy will be produced ...during this process
joshihimanshu46: hey buddy
joshihimanshu46: actually hydrogen gas is a great fuel and it has one of the greatest calorific value of 150
joshihimanshu46: during the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen two things can be formed
joshihimanshu46: one is water and another is hydrogen peroxide and a lot of energy is released
Ankitpatro: yes i agree but the concept is that to
Ankitpatro: To create water, oxygen and hydrogen atoms must be present. Mixing them together doesn't help; you're still left with just separate hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The orbits of each atom's electrons must become linked, and to do that we must have a sudden burst of energy to get these shy things to hook up
Ankitpatro: Since hydrogen is extremely flammable and oxygen supports combustion, it wouldn't take much to create this force. Pretty much all we need is a spark -- not even a flame -- and boom! We've got water. The hydrogen and oxygen atoms' electrons' orbits have been conjoined.
Ankitpatro: But we also have an explosion and -- if our experiment was big enough, a deadly one. The ill-fated blimp, the Hindenburg, was filled with hydrogen to keep it afloat. As it approached New Jersey on May 6, 1937, to land after a trans-Atlantic voyage, static electricity (or an act of sabotage, according to some) caused the hydrogen to spark. 
Ankitpatro: When mixed with the ambient oxygen in the air, the hydrogen exploded, enveloping the Hindenburg in a ball of fire that completely destroyed the ship within half a minute.

There was, however, also a lot of water created by this explosion.

H2O is the chemical formula of water. It means that each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms, indicated by the letter H, and a single oxygen atom, represented by the letter O. Water is chemical substance with no smell, taste or color.
