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).

Answer:A) cotton

A fiber if available in trace or appropriate amount can link a suspect to a crime.Solubility is a preliminary test performed for identification of the type of fiber. In this method small amount of fiber evidence is dissolved in the suitable solvent to identify it's type. Some fibers completely get solublize in the solvent, some get partially soluble and other can only change their color or do not dissolve at all.

According to the given situation, the fiber dissolved in hydrochloric acid can be cotton. As the fibers of cotton are soft and slender and will get easily solubilize in hydrochloric acid.

A 19.0 g piece of metal is heated to 99.0 °C and then placed in 150 mL of water at 21°C. The temperature of the water rose to 23

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

$0.8696\ \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}$

Explanation:

$m_m$ = Mass of metal = 19 g

$c_m$ = Specific heat of the metal

$\Delta T_m$ = Temperature difference of the metal = $99-23=76^{\circ}\text{C}$

V = Volume of water = 150 mL = $150\ \text{cm}^3$

$\rho$ = Density of water = $1\ \text{g/cm}^3$

$c_w$ = Specific heat of the water = 4.186 J/g°C

$\Delta T_w$ = Temperature difference of the water = $23-21=2^{\circ}\text{C}$

Mass of water

$m_w= \rho V\\\Rightarrow m_w=1\times 150\\\Rightarrow m_w=150\ \text{g}$

Heat lost will be equal to the heat gained so we get

$m_mc_m\Delta T_m=m_wc_w\Delta T_w\\\Rightarrow c_m=\dfrac{m_wc_w\Delta T_w}{m_m\Delta T_m}\\\Rightarrow c_m=\dfrac{150\times 4.186\times 2}{19\times 76}\\\Rightarrow c_m=0.8696\ \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}$

The specific heat of the metal is $0.8696\ \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}$ .

Which best describes how heat energy moves within the system?

Radda [10]

Heat can be transferred from one place to another by conduction in solids, convection of fluids like liquids or gases, and radiation. A temperature difference in a system causes heat to move from higher to lower temperatures
