This can be done through electrolysis. Electrolysis is the separation of a substance  into two or more substances that may differ from each other and from the original substance by passing an electric current through a solution that contains ions.

In the case of copper,  we use a  copper (II) sulphate  solution which we put in a large beaker. The impure copper will be used as the positive electrode (anode) and for the negative electrode (cathode)  will be a bar of pure copper.

When the electric current is switched on, the bar of pure copper which is the cathode  increases greatly in size as copper ions leave the anode of impure copper and attach to  the cathode.  The anode becomes smaller and smaller as it loses copper ions until all that is left of it is impurities in form of a sludge beneath it.

The solubility of kcl in ethanol is 0.25 g / 100 ml at 25 oc. how does this compare to the solubility of kcl in water?
Furkat [3]
Solubility data of a certain solute with a certain solvent is empirical. There are constant values for this at varying temperatures. For KCl in water at 25°C, the solubility is 35.7 g/100 mL of water. When you compare this with the solubility data of KCl with ethanol, this means that KCl is more soluble in water than in ethanol. This is true because KCl is an ionic salt which is very soluble in water.

Pure research becomes ___ when scientists develop a hypothesis based on the data and try to solve a specific problem
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The answer is <u>applied research</u>

Explanation:

Pure research becomes <u>applied research</u> when scientists develop a hypothesis based on the data and try to solve a specific problem.

This is because the pure research try to understand, predict or explain the behavior of different phenomena <em>(the data)</em> while the applied research try to develop new technologies or methods (<em>hypothesis)</em> to take part, intervene and/or create changes on these phenomena and solve a <em>specific problem.</em>

Look up and record the boiling point of acetic acid, and explain why only some of it evaporates from the reaction mixture.
REY [17]

Answer:

Heating the mixture to a temperature above the boiling point of acetic acid, but below 100°C (the boiling point of water). The vapours from the acetic acid rise, and go into a tube. They are then condensed within the tube, and run off into a separate storage area. Because water can exist as a gas at pretty much any temperature above 0°C, it will result in an impure mixture, but repeatedly doing this will get the acetic acid to the desired purity.
