Why can't we synthesize water?

Answer 1

We can synthesize water but to get the component hydrogen and oxygen from the easiest sources means breaking down water to get it. If you're wondering about getting water from another source, that we can do, but it's extremely expensive in terms of power--- desalination plants to remove salt from sea water to make potable water is costly but is done in places like Saudi Arabia.

Answer 2

We can't make artificial water - but water can be created from it's two main elements: hydrogen (two parts) and oxygen (one part).

And to the person making editorials to post #3 and post #4 ... Creating water out of hydrogen and oxygen is NOT making artificial water. It is creating the genuine article out of it's base elements. Thus far, there is no "artificial" water, at least in the same vein as synthetic oil or anything else man made.

Answer 3

actually you can is the byproduct of titration, but it is not good for the use yoou think, the synthesis of water is also the by-product of the hydrogen fission that is already used to power cars. who is the daft person that told you water cannot be synthesised?

Answer 4

Beacuse we can..........?

To post #3:

What you just described is artificial water...

To post #4

It is much more expensive to desalinate water than to create water from O2 and H2

Answer 5

We can. It's just not worth it. It's much easier to purify seawater than to "manufacture" water.

Answer 6

because with so much water in sight it has not been a main priority....
