Does water give oxygen to the atmosphere?

Answer 1

Definitely yes.Water give oxygen to the atmosphere through different processes as follows:

>>Some oxygen formed through photo-dissociation of water vapor. ..................... 2H20 => 2H2- + O2

>>Oxygen as a by product of photosynthesis using light energy to split water molecules and so build organic compounds...........Carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen

Hope that helps.♥

Answer 2

yes. for example, in the ocean, phytoplankton use water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen. but u have to understand that water(H2O) contains oxygen itself, but it does not release oxygen automatically into the atmosphere, it needs some sort of organism to convert and separate the Hydrogen from the Oxygen and thus release it into the atmosphere. hope this helps.

Answer 3

water itself probably releases a negligible amounts of oxygen into the atmosphere (if any). Plants (photoautotrophs) tend to release oxygen as a bi-product of photosynthesis- or the fixation of carbon into "food" for the plants. So water itself doesn't, it's the organisms in it- in this case algae and cyanobacteria.

Answer 4

Not in its liquid form but if it is turned into a gas(boiled) yes it does release oxygen to the atmosphere. Hope this helps.
