Is it possible, and if so how, to obtain oxygen by breaking apart Carbon Dioxide or Sulphuric Acid?

You can obtain oxygen and hydrogen by electrolysis of water,in the ratio 1:2,respectively.Anon Imous said:or Sulphuric Acid?
Sorthal said:A good way to get oxygen is mixing bleach and hydrogen peroxide. Fun little home experiment.
A magnesium flame is able to continue burning in CO2 because the reaction is sufficiently energetic to be able to break apart CO2 and consume the oxygen while liberating carbon.Anon Imous said:Is it possible, and if so how, to obtain oxygen by breaking apart Carbon Dioxide or Sulphuric Acid?
What's the use of this if we don't get Oxygen as a product here?NascentOxygen said:A magnesium flame is able to continue burning in CO2 because the reaction is sufficiently energetic to be able to break apart CO2 and consume the oxygen while liberating carbon.
Oxygen can be obtained from CO2 or H2SO4 through a process called electrolysis. In this process, an electric current is passed through a solution of CO2 or H2SO4, causing the molecules to break apart and release oxygen.
Oxygen is an essential element for life on Earth. It is used by plants during photosynthesis to produce energy, and it is also needed for cellular respiration in animals and humans. By breaking apart CO2 or H2SO4, we can obtain the oxygen necessary for these important processes.
Yes, obtaining oxygen from CO2 or H2SO4 can be a sustainable process if renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, are used to power the electrolysis process. This would reduce the reliance on non-renewable resources and decrease the carbon footprint of the process.
The obtained oxygen can be used for a variety of applications, including industrial processes, medical treatments, and even in space exploration. It can also be used to produce clean energy through hydrogen fuel cells.
One of the main challenges is the high energy requirement for the electrolysis process. This can be costly and can also contribute to carbon emissions if non-renewable energy sources are used. Additionally, the purity of the obtained oxygen may be affected by impurities in the CO2 or H2SO4 solution.
