Answer : Option 3) Electrolysis.


Explanation : In the process of electrolysis, decomposition of the chemical is done by passing the electric current from the liquid or the solution containing ions in it. This is the process where compound is broken into ions namely, cations and anions.


Rest all options does not involves chemical decomposition of the compound.


Chromatography is a technique where rates of solute and solvent are compared in a medium where the solute components move at different rates and the separation is obtained.


Distillation simply purifies the liquid or solution by heating or cooling process.


Filtration just involves removal of impurities by using a more porous material device to get purified compound.

Answer:

The correct answer is option (3).

Explanation:

Electrolysis is defined as chemical process in which decomposition is carried out by passing an electricity in a solution containing ions. For example: electrical decomposition of water gives oxygen  gas and hydrogen gas.

2H_2O(l)\overset{Electricity}\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)

where as chromatography, distillation and filtration are the separation techniques used to separate the compounds from the mixtures.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).

A sample of copper metal has a mass of 848 grams. How many moles of copper are in the sample? 13.34 mol Cu, 13.3 mol Cu, 12.9 mo
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

mol_{Cu}=13.34molCu

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as the atomic mass of coppe is 63.546 g/mol, with the given mass with can compute the moles as shown below:

mol_{Cu}=848gCu*\frac{1molCu}{63.546 gCu} \\\\mol_{Cu}=13.34molCu

Best regards.
