Expert Solution

Step 1

In this question, methods for obtaining mixture and water on combination of hydrogen and oxygen is to be determined.

Step 2 Formation of mixture

At room temperature, when hydrogen and oxygen gases are mixed together, they forms only a mixture of gases. This is because there is no reaction occurs between these molecules. For the reaction to occur, it requires an activation energy which is not available at room temperature.

Thus, student A is correct, if hydrogen and oxygen is combined at room temperature only.
