<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.
Answer:
No, I can not identify the contents of each bottle using solubility and polarity (with H2O) information
Explanation:
While it is true that polar substances dissolve in water and nonpolar substances do not dissolve in water, the task here is to specifically identify the contents of each of the bottles.
Solubility in water can not tell us exactly what liquid is which substance. For instance, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, cis-1,2-dichloroethylene and cyclooctane are all insoluble in water. The fact that they do not dissolve in water does not tell us which liquid is which compound.
Even though acetic acid is miscible with water, it is not a conclusive prove that the liquid is acetic acid since other polar organic compounds are also miscible in water.
It is only by determining the boiling point of each substance that I can conclusively identify the contents of each bottle since boiling point is an intrinsic property of substances.
