explain why conductors and insulators are both required to construct the electrical wiring in your home

Chemistry

NeTakaya3 years ago

Conductors are required to transmit electricity to various parts of the home. These take the form of the copper in the wires. Insulators separate various electrical conduits from each other and external bodies, as well as protecting the conductors from the elements. These take the form of the plastic sheathing over the wires.

As conductors let electrons pass through them easily, when there is a current, the conductor lets the electrons pass thru them giving the person a shock. This is why we need insulators. But having only insulators are also a problem as the insulator won't let electrons pass thru them not giving out electricity in your house

Explain the principle upon which separation is achieved in a distillation column.
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The fundamental principle involves the formation of equilibrium and separation into distillate and bottoms governed by the equilibrium composition curve , number of stages and the purity with which the distillate is required.

Explanation:

Distillation is a type of the separation process by physical means of a mixture on basis of its difference in boiling point or vapor pressure .  

Where we can just heat the mixture and separate out the components i.e the component with lower boiling point will form vapor easily and can be later condensed whereas the component with higher boiling point will remain as residue.

In case of a distillation column the same principle is applied at different stages to separate multiple components .The stages are known as trays or plates . In general , there is a certain liquid on each of the plate, and the arrangements are made for the ascending vapors to pass through the liquid and make contact with it . The fundamental principle involves the formation of equilibrium and separation into distillate and bottoms governed by the equilibrium composition curve , number of stages and the purity with which the distillate is required.

Why does a high temperature have to be used to weld pieces of metal together
bazaltina [42]

because of the metling point of metals, it is difficult to just simply put metal together and have them to stay together without any type of glue or epoxy based creams.

wielding is used to melt the surface or even change the compound completely so they are able to combine with other metals.

same thing with atoms, you need a lot of heat, and speed to simply make salt or even copper because of the elements not really being favorable of each other.
