Does boiling water breakdown the H2O bond into H and O.?

Question

I am wondering if my boiling water gives off enough oxygen into the air to counteract the co2 given off by the flame used to warm me in the winter. The kitchen stove burner on top is being used to heat and I was hoping that the negative effects might be cancelled out by boiling water with that flame.

Answer 1

No, it makes water vapor or steam. you can break the H2O bond by running an electrical current through it.

Answer 2

no it doesn't.boiling transfers heat energy into water molecules to increase kinetic energy.the molecules vibrate and until at one point,the amount of energy inside the molecules reaches its latent heat of vaporisation.the forces of impact between molecules overcomes the atmospheric pressure and are able to exit the water surface.

vaporisation occurs and the H-O bond still exist.

as for the process of boiling water to 'release oxygen' refering to the standard of understanding for high school students,the H-O bond is still present,but its form is inactive because polarisation between water molecules is absent.

Answer 3

No,it does not breakdown the H2Obond into H & O.It can only change the physical state of water into gas.Breakdown of this bond can occur by passing electricity through water.

Answer 4

NO, boiling water gives out water in its gas form.  The H2O bond is still there.  The only thing that breaks up the bond is electricity.  However, giving off oxygen from water also means giving off Hydrogen molecules, 2 for each oxygen atom.

Answer 5

No, it humidifies the air, but that is it.

Answer 6

NO, boiling water is just water vapor.  It's still H20.

You can flow DC current through the water to break it into H2 and O.

Get a bowl of water. add a pinch of salt.(helps conduct electricity)

Take a wall transformer like 12v.

cut off the end connector.

seperate the two ends.

one positive and the other negative.

plug transformer in. put positive and negative ends in the water without touching each other. you will see bubbles form on each end.

This is called the Electrolysis of water.

Oxygen bubbles will appear on the positive side and Hydrogen bubbles will appear on the Negative side.

Answer 7

boiling water dosent break it down breakdown to do this you need to get it around 3000 degrees C or something elce outrageously high. boiling water just breaks the intermolecular (hydrogen) bonds between water molecules.

Answer 8

No, it doesn't break the chemical bond of the H and O.  It changes the state of the water.  Turns it into water vapor, a gaseous state of H2O.

Answer 9

No. Boiling water is the process of adding heat to the water to increase its temperature until it changes state from a liquid to a gas. The gas would be water vapour--not hydrogen and oxygen.
