Water can be obtained as the only product during the?

A.

combustion of hydrocarbons

B.

neutraliization of an acid by base

C.

combustion of hydrogen

D.

electrolysis of brine

Correct answer is C

In flame of pure hydrogen burning in air, the hydrogen (H2) reacts with oxygen (O2) to form water \(H_2O\) with the release of energy. 

Hydrocarbon combustion refers to the chemical reaction where a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to create carbon dioxide, water, and heat.

The electrolysis of brine yields chlorine, hydrogen and sodium hydroxide.
