Can a compound be separated by physical means?

Physics
1 answer:
Julli [10]4 years ago
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.

Draw equipotential lines near the positive and negative charges below with dashed lines. b) Draw solid electric field lines base
pychu [463]

Answer: find the attached figure for a and b

Explanation:

A) The second figure depict electric field lines and equipotential lines for two equal but opposite charges. The equipotential lines can be drawn by making them perpendicular to the electric field lines. The potential is greatest (most positive) near the positive charge and least (most negative) near the negative charge.

B) The figure attached depicts an isolated point charge Q with its electric field lines in blue and equipotential lines in green. The potential is the same along each equipotential line, meaning that no work is required to move a charge anywhere along one of those lines. Work is needed to move a charge from one equipotential line to another. Equipotential lines are perpendicular to electric field lines in every case.

Please find the attached file for the figure

A body moving with an initial velocity of 30m/s accelerates uniformly at the rate of 10m/s . what is the distance covered during
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The distance covered by the body is, S = 800 m

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial velocity of the body, u = 30 m/s

The acceleration of the body, a = 10 m/s²

Let the time period of travel be, t = 10 s

Using the II equations of motion,

                       S = ut + ½ at²

Substituting the given values,

                        S = 30 x 10 + ½ x 10 x 10²

                         S = 800 m

Hence, the distance covered by the body is, S = 800 m

Explain how pressure can be used to<br> change the state of matter
mestny [16]

Answer:

Physical conditions like temperature and pressure affect state of matter. ... When the pressure exerted on a substance increases, it can cause the substance to condense. Decreasing pressure can cause it to vaporize. For some types of rock, decreasing pressure can also cause them to melt.

The heaviest piece of equipment ever carried by plane was 12,400.05kg generator built in Germany in 1993.How far above the groun
nadezda [96]

Answer:

754.6 m

Explanation:

The GPE (Gravitational potential energy) of an object with respect to the ground is given by

GPE = mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the heigth above the ground

Here we have

m = 12,400.05 kg is the mass

GPE = 91,700,000.00J is the GPE

Solving the formula for h, we find the heigth:

h=\frac{GPE}{mg}=\frac{91,700,000.00J}{(12,400.05 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=754.6 m

What is buoyant force​
Xelga [282]

Answer:

When an object is immersed in water. it is pulled downwards due to gravitational pull of earth. Water exerts upward force on the object. This makes object rise up. This upward force is called buoyancy or upthrust.
