  2. Water-reactive substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-reactive_substances

    Magnesium has a mild reaction with cold water. The reaction is short-lived because the magnesium hydroxide layer formed on the magnesium is almost insoluble in water and prevents further reaction. Mg(s) + 2H 2 O(l) Mg(OH) 2 (s) + H 2 (g) [11] A metal reacting with cold water will produce a metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

  3. Electrolysis of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water

    In pure water at the negatively charged cathode, a reduction reaction takes place, with electrons (e −) from the cathode being given to hydrogen cations to form hydrogen gas. At the positively charged anode, an oxidation reaction occurs, generating oxygen gas and giving electrons to the anode to complete the circuit.

  4. Water splitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_splitting

    Atmospheric electricity utilization for the chemical reaction in which water is separated into oxygen and hydrogen. (Image via: Vion, US patent 28793. June 1860.) Electrolyser front with electrical panel in foreground. Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water (H 2 O) into oxygen (O 2) and hydrogen (H 2): [2] Water electrolysis ship ...

  5. Sabatier reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabatier_reaction

    Paul Sabatier (1854-1941) winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 and discoverer of the reaction in 1897. The Sabatier reaction or Sabatier process produces methane and water from a reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures (optimally 300–400 °C) and pressures (perhaps 3 MPa [1]) in the presence of a nickel catalyst.

  6. Hydrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen

    Hydrogen is mainly produced by steam methane reforming (SMR), the reaction of water and methane. [ 115 ] [ 116 ] [ 117 ] Thus, at high temperature (1000–1400 K, 700–1100 °C or 1300–2000 °F), steam (water vapor) reacts with methane to yield carbon monoxide and H 2 .

  7. Hydrogen ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_ion

    By definition, an acid is an ion or molecule that can donate a proton, and when introduced to a solution it will react with water molecules (H 2 O) to form a hydronium ion (H 3 O +), a conjugate acid of water. [4] For simplistic reasoning, the hydrogen ion (H +) is often used to abbreviate the hydronium ion.

  8. Hydrogen embrittlement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_embrittlement

    The reaction of the zinc with water introduced hydrogen into the steel. [28] [29] [30] A common case of embrittlement during manufacture is poor arc welding practice, in which hydrogen is released from moisture, such as in the coating of welding electrodes or from damp welding rods.

  9. Hydrogen chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_chloride

    Hydrogen chloride is produced by combining chlorine and hydrogen: Cl 2 + H 2 → 2 HCl. As the reaction is exothermic, the installation is called an HCl oven or HCl burner. The resulting hydrogen chloride gas is absorbed in deionized water, resulting in chemically pure hydrochloric acid. This reaction can give a very pure product, e.g. for use ...
