Electrolysis of water

A current is passed through a solution of sodium sulfate with an indicator. Electrolysis of water takes place, forming air bubbles of hydrogen and oxygen, the ratios of which are visibly 2:1. The hydrogen gas may be captured and lit.

Note: This experiment was performed in a laboratory setting by trained individuals. For educational purposes only - do not attempt.
