Another interesting experiment is with conductive water in an insulated baking pan, a DC supply, two test tubes filled with the water, then the tubes inverted in the pan of water to be vertical, initially in the inverted position the tubes are full, need a means to hold them, insert leads from the DC source into the test tubes, use insulated wire, and only expose a portion, possibly an inch of copper inside the tube, and apply DC current current.
Bubbles will appear and gradually gas will develop above the water in the tubes. One gas will grow twice as tall as the other. Hydrogen is one gas and the other is oxygen. Which is which? This demonstrates the disassociation of water into its two atomic components.
.
I would say the hydrogen should displace twice the volume of water than the oxygen because the water molecule contains twice the hydrogen (HOH or H2O).
