Why can’t we just harvest the oxygen in H20 and breathe under water
In: Chemistry
We need oxygen so we can react it with sugar to make CO2 (notice that also has oxygen in it). I’m having trouble finding exact numbers, but from what I can see it takes more or less the same energy to break water into oxygen and hydrogen as you get from combining it with sugar to make CO2. The stability of these two molecules is why hydrogen gas burns just like sugar
