Heat energy is required.
In distillation, the solution is first heated, where heat energy is required, such as using a bunsen burner.
When the solution is heated, the water may reach its boiling point and evaporate. However, salt does not. When water molecules evaporates, it travels through a condenser that cools it down into liquid again. Therefore we get pure water. Salt is also obtained in the original beaker.
Therefore to first start this process, heat energy is required.

Consider the reaction that occurs when copper is added to nitric acid. Upper C u (s) plus 4 upper H upper N upper O subscript 3
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Cu

Explanation:

In the given reaction of the addition of copper to nitric acid,

Cu(s) + 4HNO3(aq) -> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

Cu or copper would be characterized as the reducing agent in this reaction. It is the chemical substance that is losing electrons and being oxidized due to this reduction/loss in this redox reaction as it is the metal that loses electrons by reacting with the non-metals.

To show the electron configuration for an atom, when would it be better to use an orbital notation than to use a written configu
Kisachek [45]
The answer is: when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells

An orbital notation is more appropriate if you want to show how the electrons of an atom are distributed in each subshell. This is because there are some atoms that have special electronic configurations that aren't obvious in just written configurations.

The law of the conservation of mass must be obeyed in a chemical reaction. what do the atoms do during a reaction that shows the
Rainbow [258]
A balanced equation is a prime example of the law of the conservation of mass as the number of atoms in the reactants is consistent with the number of atoms in the reactants meaning the amount of matter has not changed and no mass has been created or destroyed hence obeying the law.
