Can a compound be separated by physical means?

1 answer:

3 0

No, it is not possible.
A compound is a substance or material constituting of two or more elements that have been chemically combined together to form a new, different substance

Any elements that have been joined together chemically can only be separated back into their constituent elements by chemical means because the bonds holding them together can only be broken using chemical means.

A good example is sodium chloride, table salt. Poisonous chlorine gas and toxic sodium metal react together whereby sodium loses one electron which chlorine readily accepts and in the process an ionic bond is formed between the two resulting in a totally new, harmless compound , sodium chloride.

Only through electrolysis can sodium chloride be separated back into sodium and chlorine gas. No physical means can be used to do that.

Car A starts out traveling at 35.0 km/h and accelerates at 25.0 km/h2 for 15.0 min. Car B starts out traveling at 45.0 km/h and

lawyer [7]

1 kilometre=1000 metre

1 hour = 3600 second

$1\ km/hr=\frac{1000}{3600} m/s$

$1\ km/hr=\frac{5}{18} m/s$

The initial velocity of car A is 35.0 km/hr i.e

$35.0\ km/hr=35*\frac{5}{18} m/s$

= 9.72 m/s

The initial velocity of car B is 45 km/hr =12.5 m/s

The initial velocity of car C is 32 km/hr = 8.89 m/s

The initial velocity of car D is 110 km/hr=30.56 m/s

The acceleration of car A is given as $25\ km/hr^2$

$=\ 25*\frac{1000}{3600*3600} m/s^2$

$=0.00192901234 m/s^2$

The time taken by car A = 15 min.

From equation of kinematics we know that-

v= u+at [Here v is the final velocity and a is the acceleration and t is the time]

Final velocity of A, v = 9.72 m/s +[0.00192901234×15×60]m/s

=11.456111106 m/s

The acceleration of B is given as $15\ km/hr^2$

$=0.00115740740740 m/s^2$

The time taken by car B =20 min

The final velocity of B is -

v= u+at

= u-at [Here a is negative due to deceleration]

=12.5 m/s +[0.0011574074074×20×60]

=13.8888888.....

=13.9

The acceleration of C is given as $40\ km/hr^2$

$=\ 0.003086419753 m/s^2$

The time taken by car C =30 min

The final velocity of C is-

v = u+at

=8.89 m/s+[0.003086419753×30×60] m/s

=14.4455555555..m/s

=14.45 m/s

The car C is decelerating.The deceleration is given as- $60\ km/hr^2$

$=0.0046296296296m/s^2$

The time taken by car D= 45 min.

The final velocity of the car D is-

v =u+at

=30.56 -[0.00462962962962×45×60]m/s

=18.06 m/s

Hence from above we see that the magnitude of final velocity car C and B is close to 15 m/s. The car C is very close as compared to car B.

How do veins control the flow of blood

Alik [6]

Answer: Blood primarily moves in the veins by the rhythmic movement of smooth muscle in the vessel wall and by the action of the skeletal muscle as the body moves. Because most veins must move blood against the pull of gravity, blood is prevented from flowing backward in the veins by one-way valves.

Good luck !
