Who invented water?

It was the chemist Henry Cavendish (1731 – 1810), who discovered the composition of water, when he experimented with hydrogen and oxygen and mixed these elements together to create an explosion (oxyhydrogen effect). In 1811 the Italian physician Amedeo Avogadro finally found the H2O formula for water.

Can you create water?

Yes, it is possible to make water. Water is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The process to combine hydrogen and oxygen is very dangerous though. Hydrogen is flammable and oxygen feeds flames, so the reaction to create water often results in an explosion.

How was water created?

The new research suggests that Earth's water came from both rocky material, such as asteroids, and from the vast cloud of dust and gas remaining after the sun's formation, called the solar nebula. The 2019 lunar calendars are here!

How old is the water on Earth?

The water on our Earth today is the same water that's been here for nearly 5 billion years. So far, we haven't managed to create any new water, and just a tiny fraction of our water has managed to escape out into space. The only thing that changes is the form that water takes as it travels through the water cycle.

Who named nitrogen?

The name 'nitrogen' was not actually coined until 1790 by French chemist Jean Antoine Claude Chaptal [7]. He originally named it 'nitrogène', a reference to nitre (potassium nitrate), which was known to contain nitrogen. The identification of specific N compounds also began in the eighteenth century.

Who made Earth?

When the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun. Like its fellow terrestrial planets, Earth has a central core, a rocky mantle, and a solid crust.

Will we run out of water in 2050?

Assuming a World average water consumption for food of 1,300 m3/year per capita in 2000, 1,400 m3/year in 2050, and 1,500 m3/year in 2100, a volume of water of around 8,200 km3/year was needed in 2000, 13,000 km3/year will be needed in 2050, and 16,500 km3/year in 2100.

How long can water last?

Although properly stored public-supply water should have an indefinite shelf life, replace it every 6 to 12 months for best taste. If the water you are storing comes from a private well, spring, or other untested source, purify it before storage to kill pathogens (see below).

What year will we run out of water?

"There will be no water by 2040 if we keep doing what we're doing today" Unless water use is drastically reduced, severe water shortage will affect the entire planet by 2040. "There will be no water by 2040 if we keep doing what we're doing today". - Professor Benjamin Sovacool, Aarhus University, Denmark.

Why is the ocean blue?

The ocean is blue because water absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum. Like a filter, this leaves behind colors in the blue part of the light spectrum for us to see. The ocean may also take on green, red, or other hues as light bounces off of floating sediments and particles in the water.
