<h3>Answer:</h3>

An electric current is used to decompose a substance.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Electrolysis

We can answer the question by asking ourselves important questions

First; What is electrolysis?

  • Electrolysis refers to the process through which molten or aqueous compound known as electrolytes are decomposed by passing electric current through them.

Second; What are electrolytes?

  • Electrolytes are substances in either molten or aqueous form and are good conductors of electric current.
  • Electrolytes are good conductors of electric current due to the presence of mobile ions.

Third: What happens during electrolysis?

  • Electrolytes are therefore decomposed by passing electric current through them resulting to formation of new elements or molecules.
  • For example, when molten sodium chloride is decomposed by passing electric current through it, sodium metal is released at the cathode while chlorine is released at the anode.

Water molecules have __________ than molecules of similar size, such as ammonia and methane, reflecting its capacity to absorb l
Flura [38]

Given what we know, the ability of water to absorb more heat than the other substances mentioned is a reflection of its high boiling point.

<h3>What do we mean by boiling point?</h3>

This is the temperature at which the substance boils, and subsequently evaporates. Having a higher boiling point means that the substance will be able to absorb much more heat than that of a substance with a lower boiling point.

Therefore, Water molecules have a higher boiling point than molecules of similar size, such as ammonia and methane, reflecting its capacity to absorb large amounts of heat.

How much heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of 59.7g of cadmium from 25°C to 100°C? The specific heat of cadmium is
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Heat energy can be calculated by using the specific heat of a substance multiplying it to the mass of the sample and the change in temperature. It is expressed as: 

<span>Energy = mCΔT
</span><span>Energy = 59.7 (0.231) (100-25)
</span><span>Energy = 1034.30 J</span>
