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.

Answer:

Most stars are rather simple things. They come in a variety of sizes and temperatures, but the great majority can be characterized by just two parameters: their mass and their age. (Chemical composition also has some effect, but not enough to change the overall picture of what we will be discussing here. All stars are about three-quarters hydrogen and one-quarter helium when they are born.)

Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants decreases by 162. kJ during a certain chemical reaction, w
puteri [66]

Answer:

= -356KJ

<em>therefore, the reaction where heat is released is exothermic reaction since theΔH is negative</em>

Explanation:

given that enthalpy of gaseous reactants decreases by 162KJ and workdone is -194KJ

then,

change in enthalpy (ΔH) = -162( released energy)

work(w) = -194KJ

change in enthalpy is said to be negative if the heat is evolved during the reaction while heat change(ΔH) is said to be positive if the heat required for the reaction occurs.

At constant pressure the change in enthalpy is given as

ΔH = ΔU + PΔV

ΔU = change in energy

ΔV = change in volume

P = pressure

w =  -pΔV

therefore,

ΔH = ΔU -W

to evaluate  energy change we have,

ΔU =ΔH + W

ΔU = -162+ (-194KJ)

= -356KJ

<em>therefore, the reaction where heat is released is exothermic reaction since theΔH is negative</em>
