AI Thread Summary
Eighth graders can produce hydrogen fuel from water using an electrolytic cell. The process involves separating hydrogen from H2O by applying a direct current to water mixed with a small amount of sulfuric acid to enhance conductivity. At the negative electrode (cathode), hydrogen gas (H2) is generated, while oxygen gas (O2) is produced at the positive electrode (anode). This method effectively demonstrates the principles of electrolysis. Understanding this process can help students grasp fundamental concepts in chemistry and renewable energy.

I was given a task for homework. I am in 8th grade and please could you tell me how you separate hydrogen from h2o and make hydrogen fuel. thanks

with a electrolytic cell containing water and a little sulfuric acid (for a good conduction) a anode and kathode and dc current from an outside voltage source. At the negative side you will obtain H2 at the positive side O2.
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
